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.

Ingredients:

All purpose flour	2 cups
Sugar	1/3 cup
Salt	½ tsp
Instant yeast	1 tblsp
Sugar	1 tblsp
Butter	2 tblsp
Milk	¾ cup
Vanilla essence	1 tsp
For the sugar glaze
Icing sugar	1 cup
Melted butter	2 tblsp
Vanilla essence	½ tsp
For the chocolate glaze
Baking chocolate	As needed
Butter	1 tsp
Sprinkles	For decoration

Method:

• 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.
