With this step-by-step guide, you can easily make fresh, homemade doughnuts in your own kitchen. From mixing the dough to adding your favorite glaze, we have all the answers to help you achieve doughnut perfection!

What ingredients do I need to make doughnuts?

To make doughnuts, you will need the following ingredients:
– 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ cup whole milk
– ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Vegetable oil, for frying

How do I mix the dough for doughnuts?

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. In a separate small bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

How do I let the dough rise?

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1 ½ hours until it has doubled in size. This step is crucial for achieving soft and fluffy doughnuts.

How do I shape the doughnuts?

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about ½ inch. Use a doughnut cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out doughnut shapes. Then, use a smaller cutter to create the center hole. Carefully transfer the doughnuts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space in between each.

How do I fry the doughnuts?

In a large, deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to a temperature of 350°F (175°C). Gently drop a few doughnuts into the hot oil and fry each side for about 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and transfer them to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Can I glaze the doughnuts?

Yes, glazing is a popular way to add sweetness and flavor to doughnuts. To make a simple glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, a splash of milk, and a few drops of vanilla extract until smooth. Dip the cooled doughnuts into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. You can also add toppings such as sprinkles, nuts, or shredded coconut while the glaze is still wet.

Can I fill the doughnuts with a cream filling?

Absolutely! After frying and cooling the doughnuts, use a piping bag fitted with a long, narrow tip to inject a cream filling of your choice. Simply insert the tip into the side of the doughnut and gently squeeze until it is filled to your liking.

Now that you have all the answers, it’s time to grab your apron and begin the delightful journey of making your own doughnuts. Enjoy the process and don’t forget to indulge in the sweet rewards of your homemade treats!
