Can it be made with all purpose flour
Ingredients:-
Lukewarm Milk:- 150 ml/ ⅔ cup/5 oz
I need an explanation of why people even bother with active dry yeast when instant yeast works the same
Sugar:- 30 gm / Cups: ~1/8 cup/ 1 oz
Active Dry Yeast:- 5 gm / 1.5 teaspoons/ 0.18 oz
Tried but came out with very tough dough. Maybe my scale is off.
Checked my scale and it’s spot on. Something isn’t right with the milk amount because I dough wasn’t sticky at all. About a minute in the dough was stuck to the dough hook and not sticky at all.
Eggs: 2 medium( 60 gm each)- 120 gm total
Bread Flour:- 400gm/ 3 1/4 cups/ 14 oz
What can be used to substitute the eggs?
Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
Soft Unsalted Butter: 40 gm/ 3 tablespoon/ 1.4 oz
Thanks for your detailed explanation
I love your vedio
method:-
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
Yummy thanks
Start by activating the yeast. Use 150 ml of lukewarm milk (just warm to the touch) and half of our sugar—about 15 grams. Stir in 5 grams of active dry yeast and let it sit for 10-15 minutes until it foams. if you don’t see foam, check your milk temperature or yeast freshness.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
What if I don't have bread flour
In a large bowl, combine 400 grams of bread flour with the rest of the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bread flour adds that perfect chew to your donuts. A little trick: mix the dry ingredients well, ensuring even flavour throughout.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
Do we can use vanilla flavored milk
Once your yeast is foamy, add in 2 room-temperature eggs, then mix it with the dry ingredients. Room-temp eggs help maintain dough consistency for a pillowy texture.
Step 4: Begin Kneading
Nah bro this is fire but the poor donut at the end
Add the wet mix to your dry ingredients and knead for 4-5 minutes. It’ll be a bit sticky at first—don’t worry! A sticky dough leads to tender donuts. If kneading by hand, avoid adding too much flour; use a light touch instead.
Step 5: Add Butter and Knead
Donas no Donos
Gradually add 40 grams of soft, unsalted butter while continuing to knead. Knead for another 15 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic. This extra time is key for developing gluten, giving your donuts that airy, fluffy quality.
Step 6: First Rise
😍
Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about an hour. If your kitchen is cool, pop the bowl in the oven with the light on—no heat. This gentle warmth is perfect for rising.
Step 7: Shaping the Donuts
It really helpful watching and listening to the audio recording. Thank you so much
After the dough has doubled, punch it down gently and roll it to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a donut cutter, or improvise with a cup for the donut and a small cutter for the hole. Cutting all at once keeps them tender.
Step 8: Second Rise
🎉🎉 😊 THANKS!!!
Place the cut donuts on a lined tray and allow them to rise for an hour until puffy. For the classic look, make a small hole in the middle after the second rise, or leave them as they are. Give them a final 10-minute rest as you heat the oil.
Step 9: Heat the Oil
I had never tried to bake or even cook anything before I tried this for the first time and it turned out to be perfect the best recipe tbh out here 2nd time
Heat oil to 150°C-160°C, a bit lower than usual for that pillowy softness. Frying at this temperature keeps them airy, not greasy.
Step 10: Frying
Thanks I love the recipe, will definitely try it
Carefully fry a few donuts at a time for about 2 minutes on each side until golden. Place each donut on a wire rack to drain, keeping them light and airy. For sugar-coated donuts, roll them in sugar while warm. If glazing, wait until they’ve cooled slightly for a smooth, even coating.
please note:-
Hi Sir can I substitute All Purpose flour because if it's for business the bread flour is quite expensive
1-Your donuts may overproof due to too much time, high temperatures, excess yeast, or high humidity. Always proof in a controlled environment, monitor closely, and stop once the dough doubles in size.
2-Hard donuts can result from over kneading, under proofing, low fat or liquid, or overfrying. Use soft dough, proof properly, and fry at 150°C–160°C for the best results.
What you meant Bread Dough?
In USA we use Purpose Flour , ? “Help”
Quick Tips:
-Keep the milk just warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
thanks, I wasn't kneading enough and using the wrong flour, this was just what I needed!
-Resist adding extra flour if the dough feels sticky—lightly flour your hands instead.
-Always allow for a second rise; it’s essential for that cloud-like texture.
Can I swap bread flour to plain flour?

I don’t know what I did wrong. I followed everything exactly but my dough never came together. I was well into 30 min running my stand mixer waiting for the result you had. So i steadily would add a table spoon of bread flour, after another 30 min and another 200 grams of bread flour, it was still slacking, so I gave up and threw it away. No good ever comes from over kneading dough and the amount of flour I added, these doughnuts would have been dense and bland. But I’m going to try again using your recipe. I’m not going to give up. I’m still at the beginning stage of dough making. I do know how finally make sandwich bread and sourdough bread. So, I need to learn this. Thank you!

@LelaBlankenshipThank you so much for your help and support
@sadiqabashir2899So we should not mixed the liquids right away to the flour?
@d0579Is this related to first aid?

@jonajoyjomenCan I use Instant yeast instead of active yeast? will the measurements be the same?
@maxine7485Wow so nice
@EmelyBacbac🎉❤
@ElsieIsan-k6rCan i use vanilla? If so how much? And use evaporated milk?
@YRAJJRthey looked yummy frying in lard will be the best option so they wont be greasy
@eulogiomatos291I substituted the bread dough for all purpose flour so is it normal for the dough to be a bit strong? If not what can I do to adjust that
@josuekligue2661Don't use this recipe! Milk is not enough, and the dough is very dry if using 150 ml. I ended up adding more milk.

@ayeshabibi7547Best ever video and voice over🎉
@AbdulAzeez-xd9qiPlease put the recipe in English so I can understand the ingredient of the recipe please thank you
@mamastanford1198I tried this recipe and it completely failed. The dough was far too dry and not sticky or slick like the video depicted. I think the liquid:dry ratio is completely off. 150g milk to 400g bread flour is only a 37.5% baker's percentage, half of what you even find in bread!! I'm sure this was meant to be 300g flour, this recipe just doesn't work with 400.
@robinfox4440This donut was so good and easy to make
@miekepelser89Thank you ❤
@christiana6574Can these be baked instead of fried for those avoiding fried foods?
@KickingladyRAFAEL
@Junia-t9qOk
@misbahzaka6319First time making these. Couple things already. The mix was dry so I added 2 tbsp warm water. It looked better. I should have started with just 3 cups flour instead of 3-1/4. Window pane test fine. 45 min in the oven with a light on and very little rise. Yes, I saw the yeast foam up good before adding eggs. One was room temp but the other was a bit cold. Maybe thats why the slow rise. Hope I didn't kill the yeast. Still waiting for the rise. I'll wait one more hour and if not risen the yeast died with the cool egg. BUMMED so far....
@jzm6403WHAT OIL.
