The (easy) recipe for baked donuts

Did you know that it is not necessary to cook donuts in oil? Yes, we learn something every day. To garnish with whatever you want, spread, jam, custard or plain, here is a recipe you will love.

The simple recipe for baked donuts

To make this recipe you will need:

• 250 g of flour
• 1 egg
• 30 g of melted butter
• 9cl of milk
• 1 teaspoon dry brewer’s yeast (or 12 g fresh yeast)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch of salt
• 30 g of sugar
• Your favorite seasoning

First, start by gently heating the milk, with the yeast and a pinch of sugar. Then in a salad bowl mix the flour, sugar, melted butter, salt, vanilla and egg. Add the warm milk to the mixture, and work everything with your hands, as if you were imagining kneading the head of your worst enemy. Once ready, grease a large bowl and let the dough rest for at least an hour, in a warm, unventilated place. Basically, avoid putting it on the balcony. After an hour (or a little more, depending on the yeast), the dough should have doubled in volume.

All right ? Has the hour passed and has your dough risen well? Well, remove everything and roll out the dough to a thickness of about 3 cm. Form 6 balls (or more, if you want mini donuts), and place them on a baking tray covered with baking paper.

It’s not over, you still have to let the balls rise for 30 minutes (yes, I know, it’s frustrating. At the same time, I said this recipe was easy, not quick eh).

Come on, it’s good, the 30 minutes have passed, and you can put everything in an oven heated to 180°C for 10 minutes.

Once cooked, let the pie cool a little and immediately fill everything with the filling of your choice!
