Ingredients1/4 cup water lukewarm
2 tbsp sugar powdered
1 tbsp dry yeast active
250 grams all-purpose flour
100 ml Water for kneading
1/4 cup water for proofing yeast
3-4 tsp oil
Method- Take ¼ cup lukewarm water in a small bowl.
- Mix 2 tbsp powdered sugar with water.
- Now add 1 tbsp active dry yeast in the sugar water and mix it gently.
- Cover it and leave it in a warm place for 10 minutes or till the mixture becomes frothy.
- Take another and put all-purpose flour in it.
- Once the yeast becomes frothy, pour in the yeast mixture into the bowl of flour and mix it well and make a soft and sticky dough by adding the required water.
- Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes.
- Now add 3-4 tsp oil and knead it again for 2 minutes.
- Tuck the dough and put the dough in a container and grease the top with oil.
- Cover with cling wrap or plate and leave it for 45 minutes or till double the volume for first proofing.
- After 45 minutes punch the dough and grease your palms with some oil and knead for few seconds.
- Now dust the countertop with some dry flour and roll the dough into 1/2 inch thickness.
- Cut out circles with the help of a katori or cookie cutter.
- For the center, I have used nozzles to cut the holes.
- Now place the cut donuts on a lightly greased plate and keep it for 10-15 minutes for second proofing/rising.
- Repeat the same process with the remaining dough.
- While the donuts rise, heat oil in a pan on a medium-high flame, once the oil becomes hot place gently one by one donut into the hot oil.
- Do not overcrowd the pan, fry 2-3 donuts at a time or it depends upon the size of the pan also.
- Fry donuts till it becomes golden brown from both the sides by stirring occasionally. It takes around 3 to 4 minutes to get fully cooked.
- Once done, take out on the paper towel so that excess oil gets absorbed and let them cool slightly before glazing.
- Melt dark and white chocolate compound in separate bowls.
- Now dip the donuts with melted chocolates and turn the icing side up.
- Garnish it with some sprinklers and keep it on the cooling rack to catch the drips.
- Donuts are ready to serve.
