Doughnuts

I prepared these Doughnuts today and it was a nice experience making them.These are eggless doughnuts and I adapted the recipe from a video by Bhavna's kitchen.I made some sugar glazed and some chocolate glazed ones and they vanished quickly.

  • Take a bowl,add lukewarm milk,yeast,sugar and mix well.Keep aside for 10 mins.
  • In another bowl,take flour,sugar,salt,melted butter and mix well.Now add the yeast solution slowly and mix well to form a dough.The dough will be sticky at this stage.
  • In a clean kitchen counter,dust some flour and place the dough and knead well.Add  some extra flour little by little needed to get a soft dough which is non- sticky.Apply little oil in a bowl and keep this dough.Cover with a wet kitchen towel and keep in a warm place to rise for about 1 hr.
  • After 1 hr, the dough will double in size.Now take it out and punch it down to release the air. 
  • Dust some flour on the counter and roll the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired doughnut shape using doughnut cutter or cookie cutter.
  • Arrange the doughnuts in a plate and cover them with a wet kitchen towel.Let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a frypan,fry doughnuts one by one to golden brown colour in medium flame and drain them in paper towel.
  • For the sugar glaze,mix melted butter,vanilla essence and icing sugar in a bowl.Add little warm water to get the desired consistency for glazing.
  • For the chocolate glaze,melt baking chocolate and butter in a bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water.Mix well and keep aside.
  • Now dip the doughnuts in the glaze and decorate with sprinkles and serve.
Note:
  • Don't add the full yeast solution atonce. Add little by little and add only the required quantity needed for making the dough.
  • I would like to decrease the yeast quantity and try next time to check whether it changes the texture of the doughnut.
