Very Spongy donut. Really tasty it looks. Thank you for sharing it. ❤️

[@Theapron41]

Glad you liked the recipe!

[@tonyao2235]

Thank you for this new version. Just finished frying these, and I can testify that they turned out perfect, just like when I used your recipe with 300g bread and 100g plain flour. The only thing is I like the version where I measured the dough first cos I got a few wonky ones with the cookie cutter. My kids have now put in their order to fill them with jam for my next batch 😀

[@Theapron41]

Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m thrilled to hear the donuts turned out perfect for you. Using a mix of bread and plain flour is a great choice, and I totally understand preferring to measure the dough for more uniform results. It’s a fantastic tip for anyone looking to avoid those ‘wonky’ shapes! And I love that your kids are excited for a jam-filled version-sounds delicious! Enjoy 🍩

Hi thank you I am going to try and make these. Can you say how many donuts can d 400gr of bread flour makes and do you have a recipe for custard cream to fill them thank you . I am from Trinidad in the Caribbean and I love your recipes ❤❤❤

[@Theapron41]

you can make approximately 10-12 medium-sized donuts, depending on the size of your cutter. If you make smaller donuts, you could get more, and for larger ones, fewer.

[@jennifermckenzie14]

@Theapron41 Thank you for replying so quickly . Do u have a recipe for custard cream to fill the donuts? Thank you

Amazing-looking donuts! I love your clear and detailed recipe! You mentioned a spoonful of potatoes, a teaspoon, or a tablespoon. Is it cooked and smashed? Thank you so much🌹

[@Theapron41]

I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe. To clarify, it’s a tablespoon of cooked, smooth, and lump-free mashed potatoes. This will help ensure the best texture in the donuts. Thanks for asking!

I’ve made donuts a few times before but I have not tried your recipe. I have two questions, how do you keep your donuts soft and fluffy? After a few hours, mine get kind of stale. Also, when making glazed donuts, how do you prevent the donut from absorbing all of the glaze and leaving behind a soggy donut? Thanks in advance!

[@Theapron41]

The key to soft and fluffy donuts lies in the dough and the frying process. In my recipe, I use high-protein bread flour, which helps create a light and airy texture. Also, I knead the dough until it passes the windowpane test, ensuring proper gluten development for structure and softness…. Frying at the right temperature (150°C to 160°C) is essential. If the oil is too hot, the donuts will cook too quickly, leaving the inside dense. If it’s too cool, they’ll absorb too much oil and turn greasy… To prevent donuts from going stale quickly, you can store them in an airtight container after they cool…. For glazed-Let the donuts cool completely before glazing them. For glazed donuts, prepare a thicker glaze to create a nice coating that sets on the surface… Let me know how it turns out when you try my recipe ….thanks

[@Truthbetold144]

@@Theapron41thanks for your tips and advice! I will definitely try it out. My donuts usually come out soft and fluffy, but they don’t stay soft and fluffy. I’ll keep you updated!

What is bread flour

[@azucenziaflanders594]

Go to the supermarket and ask for it.

[@sjbakeplace03]

A high protein quantity in flour to make bread texture soft.

[@bhavnakhilare9903]

What is the substitute for egg? Can it be made with wheat flour?

[@Theapron41]

You can replace egg with - yoghurt , smooth mashed potatoes, or smooth mashed banana… : Yes, you can make donuts with wheat flour, but they’ll be denser than those made with bread flour. I’ve already made a donut recipe video without eggs-you can check it out for a step-by-step guide….thanks

[@MomzKitchen-24-7]

👍👍🤤🤤

[@sudeshnareddy1513]

How do i check the temperature of oil if i don't have a thermometer?

[@Theapron41]

Drop a small piece of donut dough into the oil. It should slowly start to bubble and rise to the surface within a few seconds without browning too quickly.

[@nguyimanaondofa5927]

How many pieces of doughnut can I get with this recipe

[@Theapron41]

The number of donuts you can make from this recipe depends on the size you prefer. For smaller or larger donuts, the yield will vary. It all depends on how small or big you want them to be! Thanks

[@joshnachinni-d1r]

Thank you for this recipe...for soft dough ,you said to add potato, is it ?..

[@Theapron41]

Yes , you can add 1 tbsp of cooked smooth mashed potatoes. It makes you donuts more soft and fluffy..

What is a bread flour?

[@Theapron41]

Bread flour is a type of wheat flour with a higher protein content, and this is perfect for recipes like bread, pizza dough, and donuts .most of the professional bakers use this…thanks

[@innovativecaveman]

My dough went from tacky to dry while kneading in mixer. Did I do something wrong?

[@Theapron41]

It sounds like the dough might have over-kneaded or had too much flour. Check your measurements, knead at medium speed, and adjust liquid slightly if needed. Different flours absorb liquid differently, so add 1-2 tsp of milk or water if the dough feels too dry. Thanks

[@ieeselamarquez3090]

My dough stayed sticky did I do wrong

[@Theapron41]

A slightly sticky dough is normal for donuts. Manage stickiness by kneading thoroughly, working in a cool environment, and using oil instead of flour for handling. Proper hydration and gluten development are essential for light, fluffy donuts!… -Use precise measurements for liquids and flour. -knead until dough becomes elastic. -Work in a cooler environment or chill the dough for 5-10 minutes if it becomes too sticky. -Always weigh ingredients accurately. -if too sticky add small amounts amount of flour (1 tablespoon at a time) -Accept slight tackiness as normal. Use lightly oiled hands . I hope this helps you

[@brownmat8395]

I didnt understand how they became 2 times double after giving them shape??

[@Theapron41]

When I say the donuts “double in size” after shaping, it refers to the second proofing or rising stage. Here’s how it works:After shaping the dough into donuts you leave them to rest and rise again.that makes the dough expand and become airy and fluffy.Over time, the donuts increase in size-about twice their original size-as the dough rises. This is what I mean by “doubling in size.”

Where to find dry active yeast and how to know it will be active, mostly yeast found in shops are always in-active spoiling the whole recipe

[@Theapron41]

Look in the baking aisle of grocery stores or online from.Always check the expiry date. Dissolve 1 tsp sugar in 1/4 cup lukewarm water, add 1 tsp yeast, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. If it froths, the yeast is active. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer to keep it fresh!

[@FaridaAslam-u4w]

@Theapron41 All this I know very well and this can done after the purchasing of yeast and after using it, I'm asking how to know yeast we are buying is active or not. Using procedure is the second step, when you have bought it.

[@Theapron41]

@FaridaAslam-u4w - To check if the yeast is active before using it, dissolve 1 tsp of yeast and 1 tsp of sugar in 1/2 cup lukewarm water (35-40°C). Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. If it foams and bubbles, the yeast is active. If not, it’s inactive and should be replaced. Always check the expiry date and store yeast properly in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

[@FaridaAslam-u4w]

@@Theapron41 I'm asking how to know the yeast, we are buying is active or not. Checking the expiry date is not the solution and the dissolving procedure is possible after buying, I'm asking about how to know if the yeast is active or not, before buying it. So that we can buy it.

Best dougnuts

[@Theapron41]

Thanks

[@Araconox]

Have you tried making them with gluten free flour? My husband can't tolerate gluten flour, all purpose.

[@Theapron41]

Thank you for your question! I haven't tried making this recipe with gluten-free flour yet, but it’s definitely something I’d love to experiment with. Gluten-free flours can work well, but they often need a binding agent like ( Tapioca Starch 15-20% of the total flour weight)If you try this recipe with a good gluten-free flour blend , you may need to adjust the liquid slightly, as gluten-free flours can absorb moisture differently.
