Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups (590 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons/11 ml) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) warm milk
- 1 egg
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
Sweeteners and Seasoning:
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1 cup gummy candies (assorted flavors)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm milk, allowing it to become frothy and activate for 5 minutes.
- Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, creating a foundation for the dough.
- Incorporate melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and activated yeast mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing until a cohesive soft dough develops.
- Knead the dough thoroughly for 8 minutes, developing a smooth and elastic texture.
- Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm environment for approximately 1 hour until volume doubles.
- Roll out dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch thickness, ensuring even distribution.
- Use donut cutters to create precise circular shapes with center holes.
- Arrange cut donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing a second rising period of 30 minutes.
- Heat oil to 350F in a deep fryer or heavy pot, maintaining a consistent temperature.
- Carefully fry donuts in batches, cooking 1-2 minutes per side until achieving a golden-brown color.
- Remove donuts and drain excess oil on a paper towel-lined wire rack.
- Melt gummy candies with water in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring at 20-second intervals until smooth.
- Blend powdered sugar into the melted gummy mixture to create a glossy glaze.
- Dip each donut into the warm gummy glaze, allowing excess to drip off.
- Let glazed donuts set before serving to ensure a perfect finish.
Notes
- Activate yeast precisely by using milk at the right temperature between 100-110°F to ensure proper fermentation and soft donut texture.
- Knead dough thoroughly to develop gluten, which creates a stretchy, tender donut with perfect chewy consistency.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature around 350°F while frying to prevent greasy or undercooked donuts; use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
- Experiment with different gummy candy flavors like strawberry, raspberry, or mixed fruit to create unique glaze variations that add exciting taste dimensions.
