Sourdough Glazed Donuts Recipe 👏🏼👇🏼
INGREDIENTS
For the dough
3 tbsp (40g) unsalted butter
½ cup (120g) whole milk, luke warm
1 egg
½ tsp salt
3 tbsp (45g) white granulated sugar
1 tsp any dried yeast
1/3 cup of sourdough
2 cups (280g) all-purpose flour (high protein content all-purpose flour is best)
¼ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
For the glaze
5 tbsp (75g) unsalted butter, melted
3 tbsp warm milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups (250g) powdered sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large bowl, melt the butter.
Wait 5 minutes, just in case the bowl and better are hot. Then add luke warm milk, salt, the egg, sugar and yeast. Using a whisk or a fork, give these ingredients a good mix (about 2 minutes) to allow the sugar to dissolve.
Cover the bowl with a plate and wait 5-10 minutes. After 10 minutes check the bowl. The wet ingredients should have started to form bubbles or be foamy.
Add sourdough. Add the flour and optionally the ground nutmeg, and mix to combine. Combine well, until there are no patches of dry flour.
Knead the dough on a work surface for 10 minutes. If you choose to use a stand mixer knead the dough on high for 3 minutes.
Allow the dough to begin to rise
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside on your kitchen counter for 2 hours.
Roll out the dough onto a floured work surface.
Cut out the donuts.
Place the cut out donuts on pieces of parchment paper ( the parchment paper helps you lower the donuts in the oil without messing with the donut shape).
Cover the cutout donuts with plastic wrap, and allow the donuts to rise one last time at room temperature for around 45 minutes to 1 hour, until doubled in size. The exact timing will depend on how warm your kitchen is.
Preheat your frying oil in the pan to 360°F (180°C to190°C). Then, add the donuts to the hot oil using the parchment paper to avoid touching the delicate donuts.
Fry in batches at for about 2 minutes on each side or until they are golden (not brown).
Remove from the oil and place them on a rack.
In a large bowl, make the glaze by mixing together melted butter, warm milk, sugar and vanilla extract.
Toss the donuts in the glaze and enjoy!
