Doughnuts

Fresh doughnuts without topping

Coated with fine sugar: My favourite

Ingredients:

300 grams High Protein Flour

2 tsp instant dry yeast

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp fine salt

3 tbsp icing sugar

2 tbsp milk powder

30 grams butter

1 egg yolk

130 ml water

Methods:

Mix all ingredients and knead to form dough. Cover dough with wet cloth and leave it to prove for 45 minutes or till it double in size.

Punch down then mould it to a ball and let it rest for another 30 minutes.

Roll it out into a thin sheet about 10mm thick, cut it with a doughnut cutter.

Place uncooked doughnuts onto a lightly floured baking tray, cover with a wet cloth and leave to prove till double in size.

Deep fry doughnuts in hot oil till golden brown then coat with fine sugar while still hot, or any desired topping.
