Doughnuts are a favorite among many—they come in all shapes and sizes and all the fillings and flavors imaginable. Why not try to make them at home? Here are three different ways you can bake doughnuts at home. You can use any dough recipe, and they will turn out perfectly.
Glazed
The most obvious and traditional way to make doughnuts is deep-fried, so if you’re not afraid of a bit of oil, fill up your pots. Once you have made the dough, cut and shape it into the original doughnut shape and set it aside—this allows the dough to rise a little more. In a separate bowl, combine powdered sugar with milk, creating a glaze-like consistency. Once you have dried the doughnut, drop it into the glaze on each side for about 10 seconds.
Mini Popcorn Doughnuts
These mini doughnuts are so tiny and cute that everyone will want one. Like before, use any online doughnut recipe to make the dough. However, when creating the shape, you need to roll the dough in the palm of your hands to create a ball-like shape. Once you have popped them into the pan to be deep-fried, drop them into a smaller bowl containing sugar and cinnamon. Roll the doughnuts to ensure they are fully covered. Set aside and enjoy.
Stuffed Doughnuts
Stuffed doughnuts are every kid’s dream. The endless options on what can be filled in a doughnut are remarkable. They are traditionally filled with jelly or custard, but over the years, there has been an influx of filled doughnuts getting more and more extravagant. All you need to do is invest in a suitable baking syringe and melt any chocolate or flavor of filling of your choice.
