Soft and Chewy Krispy Kreme-Style Donuts
- 100 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 150 grams Cake flour
- 5 grams Dry yeast
- 3 grams Baking powder
- 30 grams Butter (unsalted)
- 30 grams Sugar
- 3 grams Salt
- 1 Egg
- 150 grams when combined with the egg Milk
- 80 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 1/2-2 tablespoons Water
- 1/3 tsp Vanilla extract
- Measure all the ingredients.
- Bring the butter to room temperature.
- Place the flour and baking powder into a bowl and mix well with whisk.
- In the bowl with the flour, add the sugar to one side, and the yeast next to the sugar.
- Add the salt on the opposite side of the sugar.
- Whisk the egg well and bring the milk to 42-45C.
- Add the milk to the yeast side of the bowl, then add the egg.
- Mix will with a rubber spatula.
- Don't heat the egg and milk together!!
- If you heat the egg, it will start to harden!
- If the milk gets to over 45C let it cool to the appropriate temperature.
- Once the flour is incorporated, add the butter.
- It'll be a little sticky but keep kneading the dough!
- After the dough becomes less sticky and comes together, transfer the dough to a working surface and knead the dough until it's glossy, about 15-20 minutes (times may vary).
- After the dough becomes glossy and doesn't come apart when it's stretched, pull the dough from top to bottom and form a ball.
- Form into a neat ball with the seams sealed together.
- Place the dough ball seam side down in a bowl thinly coated with oil.
- Cover with plastic wrap.
- Let the dough rise (1st rising) at 40C for about 40 minutes.
- It will double in size.
- If you put your finger in the dough, the hole will not close.
- This is the end of the first rising.
- Lightly deflate the dough.
- Make 9 portions about 50 g each and like in Step 7 form into neat balls.
- Place into a large plastic container, put on the lid and let rest for 15 minutes.
- If you don't have a large plastic container, cover with a well-wrung out towel and let rest.
- While the dough is resting coat the wire rack you will use for the second rise with oil (you can use a wire rack to grill mochi for this).
- After the dough has rested, press your index finger lightly into the center of the ball.
- Open the hole little by little until it's about 3-4 cm.
- Once you've made holes in all the donuts place them on the wire rack (you don't need to cover them with plastic wrap).
- For the 2nd rising, place them in a warm place for 50-60 minutes or until they double in size.
- Prepare the glaze just before the 2nd rising is complete.
- Place all the ingredients for the glaze in a bowl and mix.
- If you think it's a bit stiff then it's ready.
- The 2nd proofing is complete.
- The donuts should have doubled in size and have a beautiful shape.
- Carefully remove them from the wire rack and fry them in 170-180C oil for 45 seconds per side (the time will depend on your pan and stove so adjust accordingly).
- After they're done frying remove any excess oil and glaze one side of each donut.
- Let the glaze dry.
- This time the glaze was a little too thin and it didn't adhere properly.
- Once the glaze has dried to a shiny finish they're done!
- If the donuts cool microwave them at 500 W for 30 seconds (without plastic wrap).
- They'll be just as delicious as when they were freshly made.
