do I really need to say what we're doing today?
(music in background)
so I'm thinking about the history of donuts
so this is this is completely my take on
on this whole thing some guys alarm goes off right
it's like 1053 a.m. he sits straight up out of bed like
Frankenstein and says to himself but out loud I don't want no damn Wheaties for
breakfast I want fried cake so he walks off into
the kitchen to whip up some fried cake first time anyone's ever making this
he's in the kitchen sweating just going after it just trying
to make something up he's dropping you know dough left and right into into oil
making something he finally comes up with something this is hours he's finally
got some stuff to to show for all his hard work out of nowhere his roommate
just pops in intruding like what are these he stops what he's doing
and he's like do not the roommate is the roommates like do not and and he's like
yes do not and the roommate I mean he's he's already into it he's he's going
after it he's he's the roommate picks one up and
he's like and these do nots are really good although you might want to consider
calling them something different it sounded like you were saying
do not like do not touch
do not. That's how they came up with it.
let's start out with whipping up the dough and yes this
is the all-time champion of doughs. sir everything dough but this time let's
talk about what's going to be done slightly different so nothing's going to
change on the recipe itself but since there's a particular goal or going
for we need to be mindful as we're bringing this together we want our dough
to be fluffy and not overly chewy so instead of working with three to four
cups of flour we're going to work with about three to three and a half cups of
flour we're looking to make the dough slightly more sticky than our typical
everything dough also if you have some bread flour on hand you can maybe use 1
to 2 cups of this along with 1 cup of all-purpose flour bread flour is a
little easier to hold shapes so it's beneficial when needing to cut out the
donuts so during the first rise which should take roughly about 90 minutes to
two hours I like to refrigerate the dough twenty to thirty minutes before I
pull it out to work with so cold dough is easier to work with and easier to
shape generously flour your surface and roll the dough out to roughly about just
under a half of an inch from here use whatever household item is circular and
can get the job done I ended up using a lid from a mason jar just like making
sugar cookies cut the dough with your mold or jar lid in my case as close as
you can to each other when making holes in the center of your doughnut use the
holes to make donut holes or you could even use that dough and just fold it
back into the uncut dough that's left over this
way you could extend it a little further and make even more Donuts to make donuts
that you can stuff just don't make holes in the center of the doughnut add
everything onto a parchment lined baking sheet and allow to rise about another 20
to 30 minutes while your donuts are rising here's your opportunity to make
the frosting so I made three types of donuts for the traditional donut I'm
making a glaze here with just a few ingredients for the donut holes I just
dumped them into powdered sugar and rolled them a little bit in order to get
them covered and for the donuts that I wanted to fill I just made a chocolate
frosting which you'll see closer to the end now that the donuts are ready you
want to use vegetable oil or canola oil or fry them in the process is fairly
quick if you have the right temperature you're looking for your temperature of
your oil to be somewhere between 300 and 30 degrees Fahrenheit to 350 degrees
Fahrenheit this temperature is good because it allows the donuts to cook
fairly quickly and not soak up like a ton of the oil within the dough cook the
donuts until golden brown should take roughly between 30 to 40 seconds on each
side well this is it if you're doing glazed donuts
all you're doing is dunking the donut into the glaze and allowing it to set up
for a few minutes if you're doing a filled donut you're just going to poke a
hole in the middle of the donut then use a piping bag to fill it with any flavor
of your choice all right guys thank you so much for watching don't forget to
like and share remember to be safe believe in good and I'll see you in the
next one thanks a ton
