Fluffy and Delicious Donuts – A Recipe That Will Take You Back to Childhood Total preparation time: 2 hours Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 15-20 minutes Servings: 27 donuts Donuts are a classic dessert loved by everyone, with a rich history that reminds us of joyful moments spent with loved ones. These fluffy, golden delights are perfect for enjoying at breakfast, as a snack, or as a dessert, being versatile and easy to make. Today, I will present you with a simple yet incredibly tasty recipe to achieve the fluffiest donuts, perfect for any occasion. Necessary ingredients: - 1 cube of fresh yeast (25 g) - 1 cup of warm milk (approximately 250 ml) - 2 large eggs - 200-250 g of flour (you can adjust the amount to achieve the desired consistency) - 100 ml of oil (for the dough) - 100 g of sugar - 700 ml of oil (for frying) - 200 g of powdered sugar (for decoration) - 3-4 packets of vanilla sugar (for flavor) Step by step to perfect donuts: 1. Activating the yeast: Start by taking the cube of yeast and dissolving it in a portion of the warm milk. Make sure the milk is not too hot, as it could kill the yeast. Add a tablespoon of sugar, mix well, and let the mixture sit in a warm place, away from drafts, for about 15 minutes. You will notice the yeast starting to bubble, indicating it is active and ready to use. 2. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, add the eggs, oil, a pinch of salt, and the remaining milk. Mix well until combined. Then, add the yeast mixture and the remaining sugar. Gradually incorporate the flour, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until you achieve a soft and slightly sticky dough. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour. 3. Kneading: Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead for about 5-10 minutes. The dough should become elastic and no longer stick to your hands. This step is important, as proper kneading develops the gluten, making the donuts fluffier. 4. First rise: Place the dough in a bowl greased with a little oil, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This process can take 30-60 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature. 5. Shaping the donuts: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1.5-2 cm thick. Use a glass or a round cutter to cut out the donuts. You can make a hole in the center of each donut or leave them whole, depending on your preference. 6. Second rise: Place the cut donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rise again for another 10-15 minutes. During this time, prepare the oil for frying. 7. Frying: In a deep skillet, heat the 700 ml of oil. You can check the oil temperature by adding a small piece of dough; if it floats to the surface and bubbles, the oil is ready. Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet to allow the donuts to fry evenly. 8. Decorating: After frying, remove the donuts and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Once they have cooled slightly, generously dust them with powdered sugar and vanilla sugar for a delightful taste. Practical tips for a perfect result: - Use room temperature ingredients for a more uniform dough. - Ensure the yeast is fresh. Check the expiration date before use. - If you want donuts with extra flavor, you can add lemon or orange zest to the dough. - Donuts can be filled with jam, chocolate cream, or pudding for a more decadent version. Nutritional benefits: Although donuts are a more indulgent dessert, they can provide energy and satisfy your sweet cravings. In moderation, they can be part of a balanced diet. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use dry yeast? Yes, you can use dry yeast instead of fresh yeast. Use about 7 g of dry yeast and follow the same process. - How can I store donuts? Donuts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. You can reheat them in the oven to restore their crispiness. - What can I serve with donuts? Donuts pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea, but they can also be enjoyed with warm milk or a delicious milkshake. In conclusion, these fluffy donuts are perfect for sharing with family and friends, bringing a touch of joy to every bite. So put on your apron and get ready to spread delicious aromas throughout the house! Enjoy!
