Donuts Airy
Updated: 3 days ago
Donuts, those irresistible confections, are often described as soft and airy, reminiscent of a gentle soul drifting through life. Their texture is a delightful combination of lightness and richness that melts in your mouth, creating an experience that is both comforting and indulgent. The dough, which is the heart of the donut, can be seen as a fantasy of taste, blending a variety of flavors and aromas that awaken the senses and bring joy with each bite.
The Art of Making Donuts
The process of making donuts, while it may seem a bit lengthy, is a labor of love that pays off immensely in terms of flavor and satisfaction. From mixing the ingredients to kneading the dough, each step is crucial in developing the perfect texture and taste. The dough needs to rise, allowing the yeast to work its magic, creating those delightful air pockets that give donuts their signature fluffiness. This fermentation process is essential, as it not only enhances the flavor but also contributes to the light and airy consistency that we all adore.
Sharing the Joy
If you find yourself wanting to create a larger batch of these delectable treats, consider increasing the quantities of your ingredients. Making more donuts allows you to share this sweet experience with friends and family, turning a simple baking session into a joyous gathering. There is something incredibly satisfying about enjoying donuts in the company of others, as the act of sharing amplifies the pleasure of indulging in such a delightful treat.
Following the Recipe
To achieve the best results, it is vital to follow a reliable recipe closely. Each ingredient plays a specific role, and any deviation might alter the final product. Whether you prefer classic glazed donuts, decadent chocolate-frosted varieties, or innovative flavors like maple bacon or matcha, sticking to the recipe ensures that your donuts turn out perfectly every time.
Conclusion
In conclusion, donuts are not just a simple dessert; they are an experience that brings people together and delights the senses. The journey of creating these soft, airy treats is well worth the time and effort, especially when shared with loved ones. So gather your ingredients, roll up your sleeves, and embark on this delicious adventure that is sure to fill your home with warmth and sweetness.
Ingredients: simple, standing 2h total time: 3h
300 g purpose flour
20 g powdered milk
1 and 1/2 dry yeast
1 bag baking powder/ 10 g
40 g sugar
160 ml milk
2 egg yolks
40 gr butter
1/4 tsp salt
Sprinkle:
granulated sugar
Nutella
jam
Preparation:
Pour 300 g of purpose flour into a bowl, add 20 g of powdered milk, 1 + 1/2 teaspoons of dry yeast, 1 bag of baking powder, and mix all the powdered ingredients well. Then add 40 g of sugar and stir.
Make a space and a hole in the bottom of the bowl, pour lukewarm milk directly into it, add 2 egg yolks, and mix with a wooden spoon. When the dough has become firmer, start working with your hands. Knead the dough well for about 10 minutes until it becomes homogeneous and smooth.
Then add 40 g of butter and 1/4 tsp of salt and continue to knead with your hands. Knead the dough by hitting the walls of the bowl. When the dough has become stretchable and homogeneous, take it out of the bowl and knead it on the worktop. Stretch it with your hands and then return it to yourself and roll it in a shovel and repeat this procedure several times.
Knead for about 10 minutes like this. Take the dough and beat it on the worktop many times, then fold it and repeat the same.
The dough must be smooth and when you take it and roll it out to be transparent. When done, shape the dough into a ball.
Coat the bowl with the oil in which you kneaded the dough, put a ball of dough and lightly coat the dough with oil, cover with a cloth, and let it stand for 2 hours.
The dough, after that, when you pierce it with your finger, must be airy. Knead it many times with your hands, then divide it into twelve equal parts and cover the dough with foil. Let the dough rest for another 30 minutes.
From each cut dough, make balls by pulling the dough more on the lower part and folding it several times, then shape the ball and cover it with foil, then repeat the same procedure for the remaining cut dough. When everything is done, cover everything with foil and cloth and leave them to rest for 15 minutes.
Then remove the cloth and foil and sprinkle with very little flour over all the balls of dough. Take one coffee pot and press the dough with the bottom so that it gets the shape of a circle, and use a smaller round mold. Cut out the dough in the middle; you can use a metal part from the cake pans.
Repeat the process with the other balls. When you are done, sprinkle a little more dough on each ball and make a donut dough from the rest.
Now take a lot of oil, pour it into a deeper pot or frying pan, and wait for the oil to heat up well. Then pour the donuts into the oil and fry on both sides until golden brown; pull them out with a large spoon with holes and place on kitchen paper on a plate to soak up the oil. While they are hot, roll them in crystal sugar, or you can eat them with Nutella or jam.
Buon appetito!
NOTE:
Cover the rest of the donuts with plastic wrap and keep at room temperature for 2-3 days.
