Hi guys, today ill be sharing my doughnut recipe, i totally forgot to take pictures while at it and only remembered when i was done.
The beauty of this recipe is that you can also use the dough to bake some really soft and tasty bread to.
Its a simple and easy recipe to.
I know my doughnuts dont have holes in them š but i really did not want holes in them and they are just perfect this way for me. You can fill the middle with some nice fillings of your choice to.
You would need the following ingredients:
- 3 cups all purposed flour
- 1/2 cup of sugar (you can do one if you are really a sweet person)
- 1 sachet of active dry yeast.
- milk flavour(powdered, you can skip)
- vegetable oil 6tbs
- Ā¼ tablespoon of salt.
- half teaspoon nutmeg.
- a dash of lime flavouring .
- 1 large egg
STEP1
PUT a tablespoon of sugar in your milk, add in your yeast and mix well. Keep in a warm place to proof.
Mix in all your dry ingredients and set aside .STEP2
Make a well in the middle of your dry ingredients and add your yeast mix, egg, oil, flavouring and mix till it forms a sticky but well kneed dough that bounces back when poked .STEP3
Set the formed dough aside in a warm place for it to double in size, do not fail to grease your bowl and the dough to. When it has doubled in size(after 10m) punch the dough down and kneed till its less sticky(add a bit of flour if it sticks to much).STEP4
Form the dough into smaller balls and ensure they are smooth enough. Place on a parchment paper cut into big squares and cover to double its size.STEP5
Heat your oil and put in the doughnuts without removing the paper from them( you will deflect them if u try removing form the papers) Fry them on mid heat for 8-10m(the paper would be easy to remove when its 2m in the oil. Fry till golden brown and with a nice crust.
Enjoy with some warm milk or any drink of your choice.
Note: you have to fry on low heat else the middle may end up raw.
This dough can also be used for bread with some extra kneeding done to it.
