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.

Enjoy your homemade glazed donuts!
