Melt-in-your-mouth Hawaiian Malasada Donuts
- 150 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 100 grams Cake flour
- 25 grams Katakuriko
- 100 grams Condensed milk (You can use, homemade condensed soy milk)
- 1 small or medium egg Beaten egg
- 200 ml in total egg + condensed milk + water Water
- 6 grams Dry yeast
- 2 tbsp or (to taste) Granulated sugar (or raw cane sugar)
- 1 Try variations with cinnamon powder, kinako, powdered dried coconut etc. mixed with the sugar
- I used this condensed milk, which is canned in a factory in Kumamoto, using domestic milk and sugar from Australia or South America.
- Put the egg condensed milk water in a measuring cup in that order, so that the total comes to 200 ml.
- Put all the ingredients (except for the sugar and coatings) in a bread machine and start the "dough only" program.
- Make ready 12 pieces of 10 cm square kitchen parchment paper.
- When the dough making program is done, divide the dough into 12 portions, round them off and put them on the pieces of paper.
- (This dough is not rested.)
- Use your microwave oven's bread-rising function to let the rise rise for 45 minutes or so at 40C (2nd rising) until the dough has doubled in volume.
- Try your best not to touch the dough.
- As soon as the 2nd rising is done, gently place the dough in oil heated to 170C, with the squares of paper to prevent it from sticking to your hands.
- Since this dough is low in moisture, it won't make any sound or bubble up even in hot oil.
- But that means it's doing well, so don't worry!
- Fry on both sides for about 2 minutes each until golden brown.
- They won't make a sizzling sound even when you turn them over.
- But that's OK!
- Put the cooked donuts on a draining rack on their sides to drain off the oil.
- If you set their top/bottom on the rack, the excess oil won't drain off properly.
- Once the oil has drained off, put a malasada while it's still hot in a plastic bag with granulated sugar one at a time and shake it around to coat with the sugar.
- Please enjoy these freshly fried!
- You can warm them up in the microwave for 20 seconds the next day.
- Try mixing cinnamon powder, powdered coconut, kinako flour and so on in the sugar.
- You maybe wondering if 100 g of condensed milk is needed, but not to worry.
- For that unique malasada feel, it's needed.
- You can use homemade condensed milk made by simmering soy milk and sugar together.
