No matter how ardent a fan of healthy eating you are, it can be difficult to give up homemade baked goods. Brushwood, pies and cookies have such a tempting appearance and aroma that a pre-planned diet often simply fades into the background.

Yeast donuts are a recognized classic of the genre. This is both an invariably delicious pastry and its indisputable symbol, fixed in our minds since childhood. And no matter how far modern culinary trends have carried us away, donuts made from yeast dough evoke surprisingly tender feelings. Good golden rounds will decorate the table of any family. Just don’t allow yourself to feel guilty about “harmful deep-frying,” because you don’t cook delicious junk food that often!

Time: Kneading 20 minutes / Proofing 1.5 hours / Baking 40 minutes
Yield: 34-36 fluffy donuts

Ingredients

• 0.5 l of milk with a fat content of 3%;
• 2 eggs;
• 3 tbsp. l. granulated sugar;
• 2 full tsp. dry yeast;
• 0.5 tsp. salt;
• 100 g butter or margarine for baking;
• a pinch of vanillin;
• 900-950 g of premium wheat flour;
• 400 ml odorless vegetable oil for deep frying.

Preparation

Heat the milk to a temperature of 40 degrees. Pour 100 ml of milk into the cup where the dough will be kneaded, add yeast and sugar, mix, and place in a warm place.



Within 10 minutes the yeast will begin to act and foam will appear on the surface. Even if the bag of yeast says that it can be mixed directly with flour, it is better to follow the recipe and use such a dough.



Pour the remaining warm milk into the cup with the dough, break the eggs, add melted butter, vanillin, and salt. Beat the mixture a little with a whisk.



Add flour to the dough approximately 300 g at a time. As a rule, 900 g of flour is enough for the dough, but since different regions have different quality flour, it is better to focus on the consistency of the dough.



As soon as it stops sticking to your hands during kneading, the dough is ready.



Now you need to let the test “come up”. Cover the cup with the dough with a lid or film, put it in a warm place, and if there is no such place, then simply in a container with warm water. Yeast dough for donuts will rise for 1.5 hours. Every 30 minutes the dough needs to be checked, since it rises very well, it can easily “escape” from the pan; to prevent this from happening, you need to knead it a little with your hands.



After an hour and a half, separate half the dough, place it on a floured work surface and roll out to a thickness of 1 cm.



Next you will need a glass (mug) and a plastic bottle cap. Using a glass, cut out circles from the dough, and make a hole in the middle of each circle using a cork. Roll out the dough scraps again and form into rings. Do the same with the second half of the dough.



Place the resulting rings on a separate surface; they should rise a little more. This doesn’t take much time, so once all the donuts are cut out, you can start heating the oil in a small saucepan or very deep frying pan. The oil should be brought almost to a boil.



Place the dough rings into the boiling oil, one or several at a time, if the volume of the container allows it.



Deep fry on both sides until golden brown, turning the yeast donuts conveniently using, for example, two forks. Yeast donuts fry very quickly, and you can’t leave the stove while frying!



Place the deep-fried donuts on kitchen napkins to absorb excess fat. As a rule, there is no need to add oil when frying.

Once all the donuts are fried, you need to decide how to serve them. There are many options: sprinkle with powdered sugar, pour over sugar or chocolate glaze, or just jam. In any case, you will be surprised that such a huge mountain of baked goods will disappear completely unnoticed, leaving the plates empty.

How to give a beautiful shape to our dough?

If your donut with filling, then you can mold it in the image and likeness of a pie, pinch the edges well, and then give it the shape of a ball. There are other options.

You can roll out a small lump of dough into a circle, put the filling on it and, covering it with a circle of the same size, connect the edges.

You can work with a layer of dough: spread small portions of the filling on it, cover with a second similar layer and cut out the donuts using a glass (you will need to pinch them in this case too, since during cutting the dough will only stick together a little, but you won’t get a reliable “seam” , remember this).

Donuts without filling They do this: they roll out a long thin sausage, cut it into pieces, and connect each of them in the shape of a ring. If you use yeast dough, the donuts will need some time to rise - only after that they are sent to the deep fryer or frying pan.

As for fillings, the main rule is this: they should not be liquid. If, for example, the jam you want to use is not thick enough, add a little semolina to it (one teaspoon per hundred grams of jam is enough). When coming up with the next filling option, give vent to your own imagination. It can be:

• apple slices with cinnamon;
• banana, mashed with a fork;
• cottage cheese, to which egg yolk and sugar are added;
• nuts and chocolate;
• cream of beaten eggs with zest and lemon syrup.

Several historical facts about the dish

Many countries have culinary stories related to the origins of donuts. For example, Poland claims the very name of the product - Polish word "paczek" in Russia it was transformed into a “donut”.

But Germany retains the championship in baking: in 1756, a field baker prepared delicious “cannonballs” for Frederick the Great.

There is also an author for the “hole”: the sea wolf Gregory (the captain of the Danish ship) was steering the ship and at the same time having a snack, but a storm began and Gregory “put” the bun on the handle located at the helm. The idea turned out to be promising - a donut with a hole was fried faster, this property was appreciated not only by cooks, but also by ordinary, “land” cooks and confectioners.

• 100 grams of powdered sugar.
• A can of condensed milk.
• A pinch of salt.

Cooking algorithm

Before making donuts at home, you need to heat half the milk you have and combine it with instant yeast. Vanillin, a tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt are also added there. Mix everything well and put it in a warm corner. After a few minutes, break raw eggs into the foaming mass and pour in half a kilo of pre-sifted flour. Mix everything well and leave it alone for a couple of hours.

Since we are trying to figure out how filled donuts are made, while the dough is rising, we can pay attention to the cream. To prepare it, combine a glass of cow's milk and condensed milk in a clean vessel. 200 grams of wheat flour are also poured there. Mix everything well, trying to prevent the slightest lumps from appearing. The resulting mass is sent to the stove, brought to a boil and boiled to the desired consistency.

The suitable dough is rolled out into a centimeter layer and circles are cut out. Place a teaspoon of cream in the center of each of them and carefully secure the edges. These donuts are fried in a large amount of heated vegetable oil for several minutes on each side. After this, the products are laid out on disposable towels and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Serve them with a cup of aromatic tea or a mug of fresh milk.

Variant with nuts and lemon

Donuts prepared using the method described below are distinguished by their amazing taste and subtle citrus aroma. They will be a pleasant addition to quiet family gatherings with a cup of hot herbal tea or a mug of strong coffee. They are made from simple and easily accessible ingredients, sold in any modern store. Before starting the process, be sure to make sure that at the right time you have on hand:

• 6 cups white wheat flour.
• 80 grams of pressed yeast.
• ¾ cup sugar.
• 4 chicken eggs.
• A couple of glasses of fresh cow's milk.
• Yolks from four eggs.
• 100 grams of ghee.
• Lemon.
• 6 tablespoons of any vegetable oil.

All these ingredients are included in the dough. To prepare the filling you need to additionally purchase:

• 400 grams of peeled walnuts.
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar.
• 3 lemons.

In addition, you will need vanillin, powdered sugar and any vegetable oil.

Cooking sequence

The first step is to deal with the dough. To do this, pressed yeast and a teaspoon of sugar are added to the heated milk. As soon as a foamy cap appears on the surface, add a glass of flour and leave it all in a warm corner.

Chicken eggs and yolks, previously ground with sugar, are driven into the dough that has increased in volume. Add the juice of one lemon, a pinch of salt and sifted wheat flour. Knead everything well, cover with a clean towel and put it in a warm place.

While the dough is rising, you can take time to fill. To prepare it, combine nuts and pitted lemons in a small bowl. All this is rolled through a meat grinder, sweetened and mixed.

The finished dough is divided in half. Each piece is rolled out into a layer, the thickness of which is no more than two centimeters, and circles are cut out. Place half a teaspoon of nut filling in the center of each piece. Place a second circle of dough on top and carefully pinch the edges. Fry the donuts in a pan filled with heated vegetable oil. As soon as they are browned, they are caught with a slotted spoon and placed on disposable napkins. After a few minutes, the products are sprinkled with powdered sugar mixed with vanillin and served with tea.
