The Cook and Baker recipe : Brioche dough Donut

These donuts made from a Brioche dough that contains copious amount of butter which gives it a wonderful buttery flavor and not overly sweet, just the right balance., 

 

Follow the instructions in the book to mix the dry and wet ingredients together,. for the yeast the recipe call for 10g or 1/4 oz of dried yeast but they are not equivalent and I used 1/4 oz dried yeast.  Occasionally pause the mixer and scrape the bottom to make sure all the dry ingredients are thoroughly. The dough is very wet and sticky but this is normal, once mixing is done transfer the dough into a bowl and let the dough rise until it double in size, the dough is now ready. You can store the dough in the refrigerator or use it right away.

 

I let the dough rise in the refrigerator for two days. To make the donuts, first sprinkle flour on the work surface to prevent the dough from sticking to it, then pour the dough onto the work surface and sprinkle flour on the top of the dough. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough to 1/2 inch thick sheet, cut the dough with round cooker cutter into circles (Mine is a 2 inches diameter ring), let the dough rest for 40 minutes until is it soft and they are ready to go into the fryer.

 

Heat oil in a pan to 315 fahrenheit and place the dough in the pan. You need to have enough oil to keep the dough floating, Fry one side for 3 minutes, turn over the donut and fry the other side for another 3 minutes, Remove the donuts from oil and let it cool on a rack.

 

The donuts made from the Brioche dough has a soft texture and a buttery flavor, With only 7 ingredients, the instructions are easy to follows.

 

If you want to try your hands in making donuts, this recipe would be very good one to start.
