Your recipes are a boon to my marriage :). Every time I whip out a new "Brian recipe," my husband's day is made; they're just all so perfect! He loves donuts, so this one is going on the menu for the weekend.

That little light spot on the doughnuts are because air bubbles got caught under the doughnut as they were cooking, and pressed up against the underside of the doughnut as they were frying, and the oil couldn't reach that spot where the air was (when your doughnuts have a hole, this doesn't happen). You can fix this by tipping the doughnut onto its side for a second to release the air from underneath shortly after you drop it into the oil. The recipe looks amazeballs!! I love making doughnuts and can't wait to try this one! Thanks!!

Hey Bri one can definitely mix a brioche style dough by hand. You simply need to give it time - resting and folding in the same way we do sourdough. You can do the Bertinet slap and fold method too. Or simply spread out on the counter and do envelope folds!

[@stephen6739]

Agreed, he said the same thing with Krispy Kreme style recipe and it works great by hand. Just get it out onto the bench, knead into bench with base of palms while scrape back with dough scraper. Eventually it will comr together smooth.

[@annchovy6]

Slap and fold definitely works. Yes, it takes a while, but it’s an amazing transformation to see the dough becoming taut and losing the stickiness.

[@noriakikakyoin4430]

Indeed, I’ve made sourdough brioche by hand twice and it is 100% possible by hand using autolyse method. Slap and fold works as well but you have to be quick, otherwise your dough will heat up and it’ll be harder to knead with hot butter. If it gets to hot just put it in the fridge for 15 minutes. By the way, the brioche with sourdough recipe that I got from The Pantry Mama is too good. It has the enrichment of the butter and it isn’t nowhere near as sour as your normal sourdough bread.

[@vistaoalry4883]

I make my circle donuts by making balls as you would for a bun instead of a round cutter - This eliminates having to reroll scraps and it works perfectly!

[@BrianLagerstrom]

This is creative!, but ends up working the gluten a little too much for me, the donuts end up being kinda chewy. Is that your experience?

[@vistaoalry4883]

@@BrianLagerstrom Chewier than a cut one for sure, but not to a point that I mind or that anyone else notices! I find they are still 10x better than a store/cafe bought one that anyone eating still thinks they are amazing!

[@debraruffindesign8720]

they look awesome! have to try them!!! to answer your question...the light spots on the bottom of the donuts are your finger indentations when you moved the dough from the tray to the oil... the heat instantly sears the outside surface of the dough and because the dough in indented, a small air pocket forms in those holes which keeps the oil from frying inside the indentations like it is the flat bottom parts that are touching the oil... you would have to move them with a spatula into the oil if you don't want those lighter spots on the bottom (hope that makes sense)

[@phyllisreinking4208]

Raspberry filled donuts are my husband’s favorite but you’re absolutely correct in that the raspberry filling ranges from so-so to horrendous most of the time. The ones you made look fantastic!

[@jaclyniicole]

My momma's favorite donut is the jelly donut! Specifically ones with granulated sugar as opposed to powdered. I'll have to give these a try for her birthday. Maybe I'll actually like them too (not usually a fan of cooked fruit). Thanks, Bri!

[@lexchan4]

I'm pretty sure KitchenAid says to use the dough hook on speed 2 and not anything higher, otherwise you could break the plastic gears inside the mixer.

[@luckybarrel7829]

Looks really really good. Wish it was possible to make with less or no sugar....

[@sean.furlong1989]

Was always insecure about making jam/jelly donuts so always stuck to ring donuts, deep fried in lard and coated in cinnamon sugar. This recipe looks so easy.

[@compromisedssh]

For some reason, I never thought I'd see Brian make donuts. I mean, I don't know why-- that's just what I thought. It would almost be like clicking into a new Bri-dawg video to hear him say "Cheerios are great, but there's no reason to think you can't make better breakfast cereal in your own kitchen." The best part? I have a bunch of raspberries, which means I have all these ingredients in my house right now. You better believe I'm about to test out my brand-new dough mixer on these donuts.

[@bryancorell9092]

Can confirm, was extremely good. Make sure you get enough pectin in there or they'll ooze a little more than you want!

[@СолнечныйПарус-р7щ]

I like to add cardamom to the dough, it sets off the eggs and flour, and gives a slight fragrant. You can add a little cinnamon to the sugar for sprinkling/dipping.

[@Gryphnn]

I did this and i used the long scrap stripes to make regular round doughnuts by twisting 2 together and close it into a ring.

[@shuman26V]

[@SetaRotta]

What dough would be a good substitute if no stand-mixer is available?

[@grantanderson3709]

Hey Bri, most donut shops use frying fat that's solid at room temp, so when the donut cools, the fat solidifies. They don't get grease all over the bag that way.

[@annchovy6]

Coconut oil is great for frying for this reason. The issue is how foamy it gets, though.

[@grantanderson3709]

@@annchovy6 Coconut oil would probably impart a nice flavor, but I think shortening is the more common fat for doughnuts.

Your description of donuts amazes me, where do you find donuts with too much filling? Everything where I live has a small glob of jelly about the size of a nickel in it. Like eating a Twinky with 3 cream buttons inside. I remember when I was a kid in the 60's my mother used to make cream puffs with Bavarion cream inside. The puffballs had the texture & taste of french cruller donuts. And her bread pudding with raisins and cinnamon and cream sauce poured on top bring back memories too. Watching cooking videos always brings back memories. I grew up across the street from a PA Dutch family from up around Scranton, PA with 12 kids and they always had trays of apple cider vinegar taffy cooling on a window sill, I need to walk across the street and see if her grand daughter still has the recipe, I'm craving it now just talking about it.

[@rodrigodemiguellamminen5244]

In Finland, coarsely ground cardamom is often added to sweets, including our version of these (munkki/ munkit in plural) and it's absolutely delicious. I don't have a standmixer so whenever I eventually try to do this with a wooden spoon it shall be quite the workout for my (non-mechanical) arm. Regardless, great video as always!

[@chrissiebeneck3294]

Hey bri...what's the sog-factor of the magic spoon cereals? Rice crsipies>pops>cheerios>trix>grape nuts? Roughly quickest sog to crunchiest.

[@uhulpires]

7:13 I think the little white spots are there because of the way your thumb is "hurting" the donut. You can see it on 7:33 when you put one on the oil, and it shows the hole exactly where your thumb was

[@brianhopkins5251]

[@airplanes7204]

Thank you so much! Your recipe is so clear and straight to the point that is fool proof, I'm gonna try this recipe and thank you very much! I love donuts ❤!

[@michaelsearle]

You should totally roll up the remaining dough you cut away, cut them up into little balls and fry them after the main donuts, like little timbits 😁

[@alvinalcid5617]

A trick I saw for rolling out a dough square with no scraps: put the dough ball in a bowl to rise as normal, then slash an "x" in the top. The x will spread as it rises and you'll end up with a rounded square of sorts. Then from here you just wrap it in a packet of plastic wrap or maybe even some parchment paper and roll it out and into the corners like you were making a butter block

[@joaomatos1420]

Nice looking Berliner/Pfannkuchen (german one uses powdered sugar though)! In Portugal our version uses granulated sugar and custard cream as the filling. Delicious!

[@arnaldoalegria2209]

With that hydration is not impossible to make the dough by hand, I make my doughnuts the same way but I add the butter at the end straight from the fridge, 1 spoon at the time while I kneed the dough, it takes like 15 minutes

[@The_Razielim]

I'm thinking the little spots on the first side are either when you popped them in the oil, air got trapped under and since it's a big flat surface, it had nowhere to go and couldn't escape... or steam escaping from the bottom of the doughnut as the water cooked out, and then a steam bubble forming underneath the big flat surface with nowhere to escape.

This donut you made is called a 'BERLINER' in Germany, specifically in Berlin, the capital city. And if you recall seeing a video of Pres Kennedy in Berlin (1963), he used the phrase: "Ich bin ein Berliner" (meaning to say "I am a Berliner, like you.") as part of his speech voicing his support of the German people (Berliners) due to the newly built Berlin Wall. But the funny thing was...in proper German, what he said was "I am a Jelly Filled donut" not "I am a Berliner." Properly, he should have said: "Ich bin aus Berlin" or "I stamme aus Berlin." - Just a humorous side note to history - for what it is worth. TY for the donut lesson...looks very doable...and tasty.

I believe the light spot on one side is due to like a bit of an air bubble forming, I get kind of a similar thing with pancakes sometimes.

Generally for donuts, you want to use a saturated fat (like shorting) for frying, as when the donuts sit they dont lose the slight crunch from the oil seeping out. :)

"This heating step denatures proteins inside of the milk that would otherwise inhibit gluten formation." Gluten is a protein, and it, too, is denatured by heat. By heating the milk, you're inhibiting gluten formation. Tortilla dough is made with very hot water in order to inhibit gluten formation during kneading, which, in turn, allows the tortillas to be rolled out thinly.
