I love donuts or doughnuts. However you spell it, they’re both dee-licious! These babies here are super easy, non-fried and so soft and yummy you won’t miss the oil and the frying. I love donuts for various reasons but one of my favourite reasons are because you can make a big batch and ice them with a gazillion different icings and have as many flavour options as you like. I made chocolate ones, strawberry ones, jelly filled ones, cinnamon sugar ones aaah, already drooling! And the number of different toppings OMG, what’s not to love?

I’ve used a blend of All purpose flour and Whole wheat flour in this recipe, it’s got a beautiful blend of butter and eggs and milk and vanilla. Okay, I’ll shut up and get to the recipe!

Author: Anjali Johny

Ingredients

For these do(ugh)nuts you’ll need: (click on the links to buy)

335g all purpose flour

150g whole wheat flour

11g Active Dry Yeast + 10g castor sugar

1 tbsp Vanilla extract

1/2 tsp salt

60g castor sugar

120ml milk

3 small eggs

100g melted unsalted butter (cooled to room temperature)

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, sift in your flours, salt and sugar. Keep aside.
  2. In a medium sized jug, add lukewarm milk, sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 3-4 minutes, if the yeast is active, you will see bubbles on the surface. Now add vanilla and eggs and whisk well.
  3. Add this liquid mixture and unsalted melted room temperature butter to the flour mixture. Knead for 8 minutes by using a stand mixer or for about 10-15 minutes by hand. The dough may be a little dry, if so, add a little more milk. Knead till it is smooth and almost springs back when you poke it.
  4. Cover using cling wrap or foil. Leave it in an isolated warm place in your kitchen for about 1 hour or until it is doubled in size.
  5. Once it is doubled in size. On a large clean flat surface, dust with some flour and plop the dough out. Using a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough to 1 inch thickness.
  6. Using a doughnut cutter (or a cookie cutter + larger end of a piping nozzle) cut out doughnuts of your desired shape and size.
  7. Lay them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  8. Cover the cut out doughnuts loosely with a clean kitchen cloth and leave them to rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Meanwhile pre-heat your oven to 180 C. Once the doughnuts have risen again, brush the tops gently with some more melted butter an bake them for 15 minutes.
  10. Make your favourite glaze, or slather them with nutella, dip them in melted chocolate, dust them with brown sugar and cinnamon, fill them with jelly. And shove em into your face! They’re that good! Wait for them to cool down a little before icing them.

Simple glaze recipe: 100g sifted icing sugar  + 1 tsp Vanilla extract + 1 or 2 tsbp milk/water (according to desired consistency) [for chocolate glaze, add 2 tbsp cocoa powder, or for berry glaze add 1 tbsp of your favourite berry jam)

These are best eaten the day they’re made.

Easy & refreshing Berry Popsicles! Summer is here early it seems and these popsicles will cool you down. They are so delicious and addictive I recommend experimenting with whatever fresh fruits you can find!
SWIPE to see more of this EGGLESS Saffron, Pistachio and White Chocolate Cheesecake. I have made this beauty in collaboration with @matshiroflavours using their Saffron extract and as always I am so beyond happy with this range, it’s Ossoro Flavours’ premium range of pure extracts and I am gonna go get my hands on the entire range now. I highly recommend you check out their products. This cheesecake was a hit in our house and I am making this again for the weekend!❤️ The recipe is linked in my bio🤗
EGGLESS fried doughnuts with Pistachio Rose cream filling. These doughnuts are a treat for your tastebuds, the recipe is now live on the blog. Grab it from the link in my bio! Happy midweek my friends❤️
EGGLESS BROWNIE TART with a surprise Nutella layer. Incredibly fudgy, flaky topped brownie pairs so well with the buttery crust, add some Nutella to the equation and you have the best Valentine’s Dessert of life. Make this for yourself and eat it all, 10/10 would recommend. RECIPE LINKED IN BIO🥰
Strawberry season is fleeting and this cake is another favourite from the blog. The one on the website is a MANGO version but you just need to replace it with strawberries and it’s so good you will not want to share!😄 I ended up burning this one a little but hey, that’s life right? We mess up a little sometimes. However, I can assure you that we devoured every crumb of it🤤 What are your plans for the weekend? Are you baking something? This recipe is linked in my bio🤗
You guys really like it when I elaborate on the details of a recipe on my blog addressing everything from ingredients to the textures and temperatures which is why I have been working on a pound cake recipe that has legit the most even crumb and if I’m being honest, I think I have nailed it but the perfectionist inside me wants to check it just one more time before posting it on the blog.
