A lovely donut, perfect with a filling or coated in sugar.
Ingredients
10.5 OZ / 300 G all-purpose flour
2 OZ / 50 G butter
0.5 TSP salt
1 TBSP sugar
2 EA egg yolks
1.5 TSP yeast
5.5 OZ / 150 ML milk
Directions
Add your milk, yeast and sugar to the mixing bowl to activate the yeast. Mix for 2 minutes / 99°F|37°C / speed 1.
Add your egg yolks, flour, softened butter, and salt. Knead for 1 minute.
Check dough for the consistency, then add more milk or flour depending on the desired consistency. Knead again for 1 minute.
If necessary, knead in a little more flour or water until it reaches the right consistency. Take the dough out, shape it into a ball and put it in a bowl covered by a tea towel and allow to proof for at least 1 hour until it has doubled in volume. Clean out the mixing bowl.
Add the dough back into the mixing bowl and knead again for 1 minute.
Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough to about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough with a cookie cutter as desired. Place onto a baking sheet and allow to proof for 45 minutes.
Cook your donuts as desired.
Fried: 320°F / 160°C for 3 minutes on either side. Air fried: 360°F / 180°C for 6 minutes. Baked: 360°F / 180°C for 15 minutes.
Enjoy your donuts!
Recipe Note
TIPS:
Fill them with jam or coat them in some cinnamon sugar.
If you want a different texture, you can play around with the type of the flour.
On step 3, the dough should be sticky to touch, wet but still workable with some flour on your hands.
