Today I will share with you a recipe for baked doughnuts that I found on the internet. This was my very first time making doughnuts so I didn't expect them to be the best. Actually, they came out good and very tasty!
I put flour in a bowl, then I created a well in the middle and I placed a fresh yeast in it. It is necessary to add a teaspoon of sugar and 100 ml of warm milk. It is important to stir yeast and milk until it completely dissolves and leave it for a few minutes.
After the yeast proofed I added the remaining sugar, salt, vanilla sugar, grated lemon zest, egg yolk, remaining 100 ml of warm milk and oil. It would be desirable to mix it with spiral dough hook so it's easier to remove dough from the edges of the bowl. Then I scraped out the dough on the work surface and I kneaded it by my hands. The dough should be greasy.
To make the yeast grow, the dough ball should be thrown on the work surface like 20 times, so the dough becomes smooth. Then I let the dough rise for an hour.
After 1 hour I kneaded the dough once again and cut it out into 14 discs. Fill it with chocolate, marmalade or some other fillings you like. My favourite is chocolate, so I mostly fill it with chocolate mixed with a teaspoon of sugar and a little milk. It is important to press the ends of the discs for filling not to come out.
Place discs of dough on baking sheet and leave it to rise for another 40 minutes. Mix one egg yolk with a spoonful of water and brush the doughnuts so they get a nice colour. Bake it for 30 minutes at 180 degrees!
