A delicious donut recipe for the oven
Classic donuts are fried in fat. If you don’t have a deep fryer at home or like it less greasy, you can also prepare the delicious luggage with the hole in the middle in the oven. This also makes the pastries a little healthier.
- Ingredients: For 10 donuts you need 180 ml of lukewarm milk, 3 teaspoons of dry yeast, 55 grams of sugar, 300 grams of flour, 2 egg yolks, and 25 grams of softened butter. For the glaze, you need 60 grams of butter, 150 grams of sugar, 100 ml of cream, 50 grams of dark chocolate, and sugar sprinkles.
- Preparation: In the first step, mix yeast, milk, and a tablespoon of sugar in a bowl. When the yeast has dissolved, leave the pre-dough covered in a warm place for ten minutes. Then add the remaining sugar, flour, butter, and egg yolks.
- Knead all ingredients with a dough hook until a smooth dough is formed. Take the dough out of the bowl and form it into a large ball. Cover with a kitchen towel and let the dough ball rise for 45 minutes.
- After resting, the dough should have doubled in volume. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is about an inch thick. Use a donut cutter to cut out the individual donuts. Alternatively, you can use a small glass.
- Brush the blanks with butter and let them rest for another 30 minutes. Then the donuts come on a baking tray in the preheated oven (180 degrees top and bottom heat). Bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for the glaze, put the sugar and butter in a saucepan. Melt both ingredients and add the cream. Mix well and mix in the chopped chocolate. Pour the finished frosting onto the slightly cooled donuts and sprinkle the sprinkles over them.
