Hello everyone, I’m Xiao Gao Jie. let’s make donuts today.
First make the dough.
2 eggs,
2 egg yolks,
sugar,
and salt.
The milk taken directly from the refrigerator is a bit cold.
Warm it up in a microwave oven for 30 seconds.
After mixing well, try the temperature.
Make sure it is not higher than body temperature.
Put in yeast,
and flour.
The more liquid in the dough,
the softer the doughnuts are to the taste.
As expected, very soft, super sticky dough.
Rest it for 15 minutes.
Put in softened butter.
First grab butter into the dough.
It took about 1 minute.
Then we come to knead the dough.
Set up a timer for 5 minutes.
I throw it towards the side of the bowl, the bowl will be clean after a while.
After the dough is kneaded, cover it and let it ferment for 1.5 hours.
Pour a little oil.
You can pour oil before fermentation.
If the chopping board is dry, apply a little oil.
A big bubble.
Gently roll it flat.
Probably to this thickness.
Cut out doughnuts.
If you don’t have this tool, you can use a can.
Remove the bottom or just punch a hole.
It can be used to cut doughnuts too.
Make a ball with the remaining dough.
Rest for a while and roll it out for more doughnuts.
Cover with plastic wrap and ferment for 1 hour at room temperature.
You see it puff again.
Before frying, do some preparation work.
Put Nutella in a piping bag.
No piping bag? just use a strong plastic bag.
Sugar, add a little cinnamon.
Stir well.
The oil temperature is about 160-170 degrees Celsius.
Try the temperature with chopsticks, and soon small bubbles come up.
Put in small dough.
Just wait for a few seconds,
when the bottom is slightly cooked, turn it over.
Don't flip it now, until the bottom is coloured.
After the upper and bottom sides are gently cooked, it will not bulge from above, or from the side.
The whole doughnut springs up evenly.
When the bottom is golden brown, turn it over to colour the other side.
After the two sides are golden in colour, take it out.
There is a clear and even white belt in the middle.
You see each one has a round shape,
and here is a white belt in the middle.
Fill it with Nutella while it's hot.
Use chopsticks to poke a hole.
Fill the doughnut with Nutella.
It’s up to you for how much Nutella you fill in.
Dip it in sugar.
The donut is ready.
The home-made donuts are particularly delicious,
since it is very fresh,
and it's still warm when eating.
This little bit heat, melts the chocolate sauce in side,
besides the sweet and soft dough.
This is my children's favourite food.
The only thing is, I can't allow myself to cook doughnuts for them every day.
Thank you for watching, I'm Xiao Gao. See you in the next episode ^^
