My First Homemade Doughnuts
I was craving for a doughnut since yesterday, but I didn’t had time to go and buy myself some, so I thought why not make one. Just another excuse to experiment (as if I need one), and besides, I have all the ingredients for the recipe. So, here I am, trying my hand on my first home made doughnuts.
It turned out quite easy to do actually, and fun too. You betcha! it didn’t last two days. I had everybody in the house keep coming back to it for breakfast and merienda (my hubby in particular). It was definitely crispy and creamy, as the recipe had promised. I never tried anything with yeast before because I am intimidated by it. But after this attempt, it ain’t going to be my last experiment with yeast in it. I might try home made bread pretty soon.
The chocolate was the favorite of the house. Why not? I used Hershey’s semi-sweet chocolate to make a ganache. I also made other toppings like cinnamon sugar, plain sugar, butter glaze (butter and confectioner sugar) and milk/sugar glaze (milk and confectioner sugar). I could have made other toppings but I know my husband is not into fancy toppings.
How I wish I could make one like those of Krispy Kreme. But who knows what is the secret to their long lasting soft doughnuts. Probably they used some sort of bread improver, a special yeast or a specialized flour, or just a totally different technique in kneading. As for now, I am happy that my first attempt was a success. Soon, I’ll be trying other doughnut recipes, and hope to learn how to make one with a filling.
