[@kungfuwife]

I made these and they were pretty close to the legendary malasadas from Leonard's in Hawaii. I made the custard cream into a passion fruit flavor and made a simple sugar glaze. It was out of this world! These doughnuts are very good on their own, but amazing with the custard cream or any filling. Highly recommend this recipe! Also another little tip is when proofing the dough balls, place them on a square piece of parchment. When ready to fry, just place the dough balls in the oil with the parchment, and then just give a little shake and the paper will separate in a second. This helps to keep the dough shapes better/prettier. Thank you so much for sharing and demonstrating this wonderful recipe! God bless you!

[@shericreates]

I want to really make these! They look so good! My mixer is old. My 40 year old daughter was over cooking. She asked me where my mixer was. I said right there on the counter. She looked at me and said, “not the one from your marriage”. Haha I said it’s not. It’s the one from when I was a little girl. It was my mom’s and we made everything with it. It’s a Hamilton Beach with milk glass bowls. “Always reach for your Hamilton Beach”. Why get a new one. But maybe this would be too hard to make the dough by scratch. I don’t have dough paddles. I live your recipes!

Thank you die this recipe. Have you tried to bake these instead of frying them?

[@AKneadtoBake]

You can also bake them at 350 degrees until they are golden brown, the texture will be very similar, but if you want to coat them with sugar you are gonna need to brush them with some melted butter so the sugar sticks to the doughnuts

If it is too wet you need to keep kneading it, it is very hard to over knead it. It takes at least 30 min to knead.

Hello there, great video! Very helpful and entertaining…… I hope you can help… I’m confused over the sourdough starter… I have got a starter and feed each week and smells as it should.. “fermented beer smell” but and the big but is how much to add to recipe? And what consistency ? You mentioned 100% hydration of starter… how do I do this? The consistency of my starter is a thick sticky batter…. And I’ve noticed other cooks are thicker or thinner …. So I’m confused as I know it needs to be right….. hope you can help, all your other parts of recipe are very clear… but I’m just haven’t got the experience of the sourdough consistency yet..please help. And great work!

[@AKneadtoBake]

Hi! There are many different sourdough starters, concerning hydration which is your question, many recipes use sourdough starters of a 100% hydration, others 50% and many other percentages. I’m this recipe you can use the sourdough starter that you have of a thick sticky batter. Just to clarify A 100% hydration has the same amount in grams of starter, water and flour, I hope this helps

[@markkevin7245]

@@AKneadtoBake ok thanks very much just to be crystal clear example if you recipe asks for 90g 100% hydration that would mean 30g of my starter.. 30g of,water and 30g of flour mixed together and added? And nothing else done to it? Sorry if I’m a abit basic

[@mintz9183]

Mine is in the fridge for the final proof , cant wait for tomorrow 😳 .. what is the reason to let it proof at room tmp 4 hours then to the refrigerator afterwards?

[@AKneadtoBake]

These bombolinis need a long fermentation process. Since it is a long recipe I put them in the fridge to proof overnight, you can proof them less time it is just crucial to shape this dough when it it very cold otherwise it would be very difficult to shape.

Question, chef: why are you doing stretch and folds if you’ve already used your mixer/hook to knead the dough? Have you actually tested whether there’s a difference? I’ve seen tons of bakers just using this stretch/fold process and can’t help but notice that not a single one has tested the difference. Seems to me you’ve spent 4-8 minutes in your stand mixer developing gluten, what are we actually accomplishing with those extra 4 or so folds?

[@AKneadtoBake]

That’s a very good question. For this kind of dough you have to make sure that you develop the gluten in your dough to the max, since you are gonna fry the dough and need the dough to raise properly before the frying stage you need to develop the gluten well, what you are creating in this kind of bread is basically small “balloons” of puffed dough before frying and that is why we stretch and fold. I have not tested before without stretch and folds in this specific recipe

[@addammadd]

A Knead to Bake I’m willing to bet you $5 you test it and find zero difference on a blind taste test.

[@AKneadtoBake]

HELP :) How do I get that Strong Rustic Sourdough flavor ? My starter is a month old and triples after feeding a 100g with a 100g/f 100g/w feeding... It's good bread but not strong... I do about 14hrs in fridge before baking, after 14hrs there's a big rise and worried ill get too much rise going longer or for it to go flat... not long enough ??? Or can I do a double ferment, 12 hr rest after 1st mixing then overnight before baking ???

[@AKneadtoBake]

I would try first to do a longer cold fermentation. I’ve left my dough in the fridge for up to 72 hours with no problem. It won’t go flat if your dough has enough tension

When you talk about the starter being at 100% hydration, you mean it has been fed and has puffed up to its max?

[@AKneadtoBake]

No the percentage refers to hydration. That means that you feed the same amount of starter with the same amount of water and flour. For example 100g of starter + 100 grams of flour + 100 grams of water in ratios it is know as 1:1:1. Thank you for watching

[@kungfuwife]

Just wanted to ENCOURAGE those who feel like these look like they take a long time and need too much babysitting. But believe me, they are waaaay better than just a yeasty doughnut. Actually,there are at these options of time line(schedule) you can follow to make it easy. Just gotta plan a bit ahead. 1) Begin in the process in the morning, go through the steps through out the day (most is non-active), shape them at night, they'll be ready in the morning to fry up. 2)can begin during the day, and for the 4 hour of bulk proofing(in the bowl), you can do it in the fridge overnight, take them out the next day in the morning, shape them, and let them final proof. In a warm environment, I've found it takes about 6-8 hrs. They'll be ready in the late afternoon to fry. 2.5) OR take the bowl out the next evening, shape them to final proof overnight. Keep them in the oven(turned off) , if you don't have a warm area. They'll be ready to fry in the morning. This process makes it 3 days, but much of it is hands off. Just schedule to prep 2 days before you want to make them. I've made these several times and they are NEVER disappointing!
