hey guys today we're making these
delicious glazed fluffy Donuts I've been
making donuts for years now and I
finally nailed the most tender Mel's in
your mouth
dodo texture and I'm so excited to show
you how to achieve that if you love
Donuts you'll be blown away by how much
better freshly made Donuts taste okay so
I'm making the dough by hand today
listen if you have a stand mixer use it
this is one of the few times I'm
actually going to encourage you to use
your stand mixer because this dough is
quite sticky and I will be honest with
you it's a bit annoying to work with
however if you don't have one I will be
sharing some tips with you as we go
along to make your life easier so my
flour I've added a good grating of
nutmeg which is going to give these
donuts that distinct delicious donut
flavor I've also added this sugar and
salt and you want to give these
ingredients a quick toss and set this
mixture to the side in this measuring
cup I have some warm milk to it we're
going to add one egg the melted butter
and yeast give this mixture a good mix
and if you're new to my channel make
sure to subscribe and click that
notification bell I post new videos
every week you're going to combine the
wet ingredients with the dry now if
you're using your mixer makes your dough
on high for three minutes if you're
making the dough by hand you can either
mix these ingredients using a spatula or
wooden spoon or even a handheld electric
mixer you'll see this dough is quite
sticky and soft this is how you want it
to be do not be tempted to add extra
flour at the most you can add an
additional one or two tablespoons of
flour but keep in mind this is the
texture you want this dough to beat now
because it's so soft to make your life
easier you're going to add a half a
tablespoon of oil onto your work surface
this will prevent the dough from
sticking to your board without having to
add extra flour oil your hands as well
and you're going to start kneading the
dough this will take some time if you've
seen my previous bread video
did touch on that I'll leave a link to
that video in the description box but
keep in mind this will take anywhere
between 10 to 15 minutes the gel will be
elastic and soft and inevitably and
eventually it will become sticky at that
point you can use the help of a bench
scraper it's a great tool when making
bread it's very inexpensive I think I
got this one for a dollar so consider
getting one especially if you love
making bread like I said this dough will
be soft and elastic usually all enriched
dough's have this um flexible texture
and after 10 minutes of kneading you're
going to transfer the dough into a
lightly greased bowl I like to give my
dough somewhat of a shape this isn't
necessary though and you're going to
cover it well using some plastic wrap or
a damp kitchen towel and this needs to
rise for about an hour and a half to two
hours it just needs to double in size
okay so fast forward an hour and a half
later at this point you can flower your
work area we don't want the donuts to
stick the dough should have doubled in
size and you'll see it also becomes
easier to work with and it won't be as
tacky flour the top of your dough as
well I like to press it down to pop any
air bubbles and you're going to roll
this out I'd say to about half an inch
thickness now with this dough you'll be
able to get around a dozen donuts
because I have this small donut cutter I
was able to get around 15 Donuts you
don't need a donut cutter that okay a
large cookie cutter and the small one is
perfectly fine to use or even a glass or
a cup is fine improvised anything that's
wrapped you're going to place the donuts
onto some parchment paper leaving some
space between each donuts and let these
rise again for about 20 to 30 minutes
the beauty of this dough is that you can
reroll it it's a wonderful soft dough so
reshape it roll it out again and
continue making your donuts okay so
moving on to frying these babies I'm
going to give you a few crucial tips now
I like to cut the donuts you know not
the donuts the parchment paper around
the donuts it's just easier to maneuver
them into the oil without you know
deflating them or losing their shape now
I find that the best temperature for
frying don't
is actually around 160 degrees Celsius
or 320 330 Fahrenheit a lot of recipes
will tell you 360 but for my experience
they just become dark and crispy we're
not making Fried Chicken here okay
cooking the donuts at a slightly lower
temperature will assure you that
beautiful even browning and a super soft
donuts if you have a thermometer use it
if you don't just make sure your donuts
are bubbling gently you may have to
adjust your flame as you're cooking
these so keep that in mind and you're
going to cook these on both sides until
they're beautifully golden set these
onto a wire rack or some towels and
we're going to make the delicious glaze
for the glaze you'll need some melted
butter to it we're going to add the milk
and powdered sugar you can add a splash
of vanilla I'm actually using vanilla
powdered sugar so I won't be adding any
today as a pending on how you like your
glaze you know thick or thin you're
going to add more milk or more sugar I
personally prefer a thinner plates drop
your donuts one or two at a time into
the glaze make sure you coat these
entirely in the glaze they're going to
be I promise you and you're going to
place these onto a wire rack to drip you
know the excess glaze this glaze will
set just like Krispy Kreme donuts these
will be better than any donut you will
ever buy I need to immediately show you
how soft and tender these are I
guarantee you that when you make these
you won't be able to stop at just what
they're so good as the glaze starts to
set it'll become this crackling soft
glaze the entire donut will just melt in
your mouth
