BAKED DOUGHNUTS

After a tough week I finally got ready to share this amazing recipe with all of you.

I hope you like as much as we did at home.

Ingredients (for 18 doughnuts):
10-12 cardamom capsules
210 g all-porpoise flour (7.4 oz.)
80 g strong flour (2.8 oz.)
9 g dry yeast (0.3 oz.) (or 25 g /0.9 oz. fresh yeast)
1 teaspoon of salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon inverted sugar
130 ml of milk
Orange zest
40 g butter at room temperature (1 oz.)
Sunflower oil

  

First, take away the cardamom capsules and just keep the black little balls on the inside and ground them (I used the coffee grinder).

Now mix all the dry ingredients: flours, salt, cardamom and the yeast (if you are going to use fresh yeast it’s better to dissolve it in the milk)

Make a hole in the mixture, add the egg and knead (I made it with the Kitchen Aid hook)

Then, add the warm milk with the inverted sugar and the orange zest.

Finally, add the butter little by little.

Cover the bowl and let it rest for 1 hour and a half.

After this time, knead a bit and spread the dough with a rolling. Cut the doughnuts, with approximately 1,5 cm of thickness.

Paint them with the sunflower oil.

Cover them and place let them rest for 40 minutes.

Bake them at 170ºC (340ºF) for 10 minutes.

Let them cool down on a rack and cover them with chocolate, glaze, sugar, toppings…
