Donuts with Chocolate Icing

Delicious American donuts with chocolate icing.

Ingredients

Flour – 550-600 g
Sugar – 60 g
Eggs – 2 pcs.
Milk 3.2% – 250 ml
Butter – 90 g
Dry yeast – 11-14 g
Salt – 1 pinch
Vanillin – on the tip of a knife
Vegetable oil – for deep-fat

Directions

I will use a bread maker to knead the dough. I put 2 eggs, 60 g of sugar, 90 g of softened butter, a pinch of salt, and 250 ml of warm, but not hot, milk in the bowl of the bread machine. You can add vanillin or vanilla sugar. (If you didn’t get the butter out of the refrigerator in advance, you can melt it.)

The flour must be sifted first, you will need about 550-600 g of flour. The dough should be very soft, so I do not add all the flour, but only 550 g, then I look at the consistency. Lastly, I add a bag of dry yeast. I put on the “Dough” mode and leave it for 1.5 hours.

If it is more convenient to knead the dough by hand, then mix the products in the same order. Knead the loose dough and let it come up well, for about 1-1.5 hours. (I never revive yeast, as granular yeast works well anyway – the dough is great. The main thing is that the food used is warm.)

When the dough comes up, knead it and roll it out with a thickness of about 7-10 mm. Shaping donuts.

We leave them to rest for 20-30 minutes.

When the donuts have doubled in size, you can fry.

We heat the vegetable oil and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side. You do not need to heat the oil very much so that the donuts have time to bake, but not burn.

You can decorate donuts as you wish, but traditionally they are poured with chocolate. To do this, melt the chocolate in a little hot cream. (I used white and milk chocolate and red dye.)

It is convenient not to pour the donuts on top, but to dip the donut in chocolate – this way the layer will turn out to be even. You only need to do this when the donuts are completely cool.

If you have time and desire, you can decorate donuts to your taste – with confectionery sprinkles or chocolate.

Bon Appetit!
