Sure! Here's a detailed recipe for making classic glazed donuts (ponchiki) in English, suitable for understanding the process step-by-step: --- ### Classic Glazed Donuts Recipe **Ingredients:** - 2 ½ cups (310 grams) all-purpose flour - ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar - 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast - ½ teaspoon salt - ¾ cup (180 ml) warm milk (about 110°F / 45°C) - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted - 1 large egg - Vegetable oil (for frying) **For the Glaze:** - 1 cup powdered sugar - 2-3 tablespoons milk - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract --- ### Instructions: #### 1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture - **Step 1:** Warm the milk until it's lukewarm (around 110°F / 45°C). Do not overheat, as high temperatures can kill the yeast. - **Step 2:** In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk. Add a teaspoon of sugar. Stir gently. - **Step 3:** Let sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is activated. **Explanation:** Activating yeast ensures it will help the dough rise properly, resulting in soft, fluffy donuts. #### 2. Make the Dough - **Step 4:** In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining sugar, salt, and flour. - **Step 5:** Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and the egg. - **Step 6:** Mix everything until a dough begins to form. You can use a spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook. **Explanation:** Combining the ingredients creates a sticky but manageable dough that will develop gluten for elasticity. #### 3. Knead and Let Rise - **Step 7:** Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead with a mixer for 3-4 minutes. - **Step 8:** Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap. - **Step 9:** Let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size. **Explanation:** Kneading develops gluten, giving structure to the donuts, while rising allows the yeast to produce carbon dioxide, making the dough expand and become light. #### 4. Shape the Donuts - **Step 10:** Once risen, punch down the dough to release excess air. - **Step 11:** Roll out the dough to about ½ inch (1.25 cm) thickness on a floured surface. - **Step 12:** Use a donut cutter or two round cutters (one large, one small for the hole) to cut out donuts and holes. **Explanation:** Shaping is crucial for uniform cooking and classic donut appearance. #### 5. Fry the Donuts - **Step 13:** Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy. - **Step 14:** Fry the donuts in batches, not overcrowding the pan. Turn occasionally until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. - **Step 15:** Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. **Explanation:** Proper frying temperature ensures crispy exterior and soft interior, preventing the donuts from absorbing too much oil. #### 6. Make the Glaze - **Step 16:** In a bowl, whisk powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to create a smooth, runny glaze. #### 7. Glaze the Donuts - **Step 17:** Dip the warm donuts into the glaze or spoon the glaze over them. - **Step 18:** Place glazed donuts on a wire rack to set. **Final step:** Allow the glaze to harden slightly before serving. --- ### Tips: - For softer donuts, add a tablespoon of milk or water if the dough feels too stiff. - For a variation, sprinkle cinnamon or cocoa powder into the glaze.
