Donut dough
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of heated milk (45°C/110°F).
One package of 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast - 1/4 cup of sugar, granulated
- Two big eggs at room temperature
- Six tablespoons of melted, slightly cooled unsalted butter
- One teaspoon of salt
- Four cups of all-purpose flour plus additional for rolling
- For frying, use vegetable oil
Guidelines:
Activate the yeast:
- Warm milk and sugar should be combined in a large mixing dish. After scattering the yeast over the milk mixture, leave it for five to ten minutes, or until frothy.
Combine Dough:
- To the yeast mixture, add the eggs, salt, and melted butter. Blend until thoroughly blended.
- One cup of flour at a time, gradually stir in the flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Though workable, the dough should be slightly sticky.
- kneaded dough
- After placing the dough onto a floured surface, knead it for five to seven minutes, or until it becomes elastic and smooth. To keep it from sticking, add extra flour as needed.
First Getting Up:
- After putting the dough in a lightly oiled basin and covering it with a moist towel or plastic wrap, let it rise for about an hour in a warm, draft-free environment until it has doubled in size.
Form Donuts:
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a surface dusted with flour. Roll out the dough until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
- To cut out donut shapes, use a donut cutter or two round cutters (one large, one little). Reroll the leftover dough and cut out more doughnuts.
Second Ascent:
- After lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the cut-out donuts on it, loosely cover it with a cloth, and allow it to rise until puffed, about 30 minutes.
Warm Oil:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
Doughnuts in a fry:
- A few donuts should be added to the heated oil at a time, and they should be fried for one to two minutes on each side, or until golden brown. After removing the donuts with a slotted spoon, put them on a tray covered with paper towels to absorb any leftover oil.
Chill and Present:
- Before applying a sugar coating or glaze, allow the donuts to cool slightly.
