Twisted donuts, untangled, furious, cheerful, knotted, unraveled.....
Twisted doughnuts: a warm and fluffy delicacy One of the most beloved desserts in the kitchen, twisted doughnuts bring a touch of joy to every corner. With a soft texture and a sweet taste, these doughnuts are perfect for any occasion - from a quick breakfast to a savory snack during the day. The story behind them is a simple one: they represent comfort and tradition, having been made by generations. Whether served with powdered sugar or filled with jam, twisted doughnuts will not disappoint. Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 15-20 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 35 minutes Number of servings: 12 doughnuts Essential ingredients: - 500 ml milk (preferably whole, for a creamy texture) - 800 g flour (but it's good to have an extra 100 g on hand for adjustments) - 1 packet of dry yeast (or 25 g fresh yeast) - 200 g sugar (you can reduce the amount for a less sweet version) - 2 eggs (at room temperature for better yeast activation) - 100 g butter (melted, but let it cool slightly) - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 teaspoon rum essence (for a wonderful aroma) - Powdered sugar (for decoration) Steps to prepare twisted doughnuts: 1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients. Make sure the milk is warm, but not hot, as too high a temperature can kill the yeast. 2. Activating the yeast: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of flour with the yeast and pour the warm milk over them. Mix gently and let sit for 10 minutes until a foam forms on the surface. This is a sign that the yeast is active and ready to work. 3. Mixing the dough: In a large bowl, sift the flour and make a well in the center. Add the eggs, salt, the risen starter, and the rum essence. Mix the ingredients well using a spatula or a wooden spoon. If the dough is too sticky, you can gradually add the remaining flour. 4. Incorporating the butter: Once the dough is homogeneous, add the melted (but cooled) butter and continue mixing until it is well incorporated. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky, but not excessively so. 5. First rise: Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size. 6. Shaping the doughnuts: After the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and roll out a sheet about 1-2 cm thick. Using a glass or a doughnut cutter, cut circles from the dough. You can twist the circles or leave them simple, according to your preference. 7. Resting the doughnuts: Place the cut doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rest for 5-10 minutes while you heat the oil in the pan. 8. Frying the doughnuts: In a deep pan, heat the oil to medium temperature. Check if it's ready by throwing a small piece of dough into the oil; if it floats to the surface, the oil is perfect. Fry the doughnuts on both sides until golden and crispy, then remove them and place them on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. 9. Decorating: After they have cooled slightly, dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar and, if desired, you can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon for an even more aromatic flavor. Useful tips: - If you want a healthier version, you can replace part of the flour with whole wheat flour. - The doughnuts can be filled with jam, chocolate, or vanilla cream after frying for an even more special taste. - These doughnuts can be enjoyed plain or alongside a cup of hot cocoa or tea for a complete breakfast or snack. Nutritional benefits: Twisted doughnuts are a source of carbohydrates, providing quick energy. The whole wheat flour used can also add fiber, while the eggs contribute protein and vitamins. Consumed in moderation, they can be part of a balanced diet. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use fresh yeast? Of course! Use about 25 g of fresh yeast instead of dry yeast. - How can I store the doughnuts? The doughnuts can be stored in an airtight container for a few days, but they are best consumed freshly fried. - Can I freeze the doughnuts? Yes, it’s a good idea! You can freeze the un-fried doughnuts, and then fry them directly from the freezer. Let's enjoy twisted doughnuts together! It's a simple and delicious recipe that will surely bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones. Whether you serve them on a special occasion or simply as a treat, twisted doughnuts are an inspired choice. Enjoy them with pleasure!
