A recipe for gourmets, the recipe for Homemade donuts very soft! To decorate with dark or white chocolate, or simply sprinkled with icing sugar, they are totally customizable.
Who hasn't dreamed of tasting the donuts that we often see in American TV series? It is quite possible to make them at home with this super easy donut recipe. They are extra soft and well puffed...
What ingredients for this donut recipe?
These are the classic ingredients of a brioche dough : milk, butter, sugar, salt, flour, baker's yeast, vanilla, eggs. I advise you to place the ingredients at ambient temperature at least 30 minutes before starting the recipe. This optimizes the end result.
You also needhuile de friture, since this is how donuts are cooked "on the spot".
As for the decor of the donuts, you can plan white chocolate or dark chocolate pastry. Also prepare small sugar decorations such as: chocolate sprinkles, sugar confetti, or praline pieces that you place on the chocolate of the donuts.
How to make homemade donuts?
Once the dough is kneaded, it is left to rise for 1 hour 30 minutes so that it doubles in volume. Then, we lower this dough on the work surface and we use a donut cookie cutter. The shapes are thus cut very easily.
At this stage we let stand again for 30 minutes and we can fry our donuts! They are placed one by one in a pan with frying oil to sear them approximately 1 minutes each one then drained well.
It's up to you to treat yourself to the decorations: dip them in melted white chocolate, melted dark chocolate. Add chocolate sprinkles or praline pieces for example!
They can also be enjoyed very well plain, or just sprinkled with icing sugar ...

Homemade Donuts, The Soft Recipe
Ingredients:
- 240 ml Milk
- 50 g Soft butter
- 1 cs baker's yeast (the one for the brioches)
- 65 g Granulated sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 0,5 cc natural vanilla extract
- 2 whole eggs
- 500 g flour
- 1 liter cooking oil
- Dark chocolate pastry
- White chocolate pastry
- Decorations: praline, chocolate sprinkles etc.
Preparation:
- In a saucepan, heat the milk, melt the soft butter. Let cool.
- Once the milk has cooled, pour it into a container and add the baker's yeast, powdered sugar, salt, vanilla, whole eggs, and the flour in several batches.
- At this stage we abandon the whisk to take the dough with the hands! This dough should be kneaded for about 5 minutes. Do not hesitate to add more flour if it is too sticky.
- Let the dough rest (and rise!) In its container, covered with a cloth for 1h30 (ideally in a warm place). It must double in size.
- On a floured work surface, roll out the dough to a height of 1cm using a rolling pin.
- Use the donut cookie cutter (link to my material at the bottom of the article) to form the 15 donuts. Cover with a tea towel and let stand for 30 minutes in a warm place.
- Prepare a saucepan / sauté pan with the cooking oil. Heat over medium heat (the oil must not be too hot, otherwise your donuts will burn!).
- Gently place each donut in the oil, fry 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Then drain on absorbent paper.
- Allow donuts to cool before frosting with melted dark chocolate and melted white chocolate (double boiler or microwave). It's up to you to add the small decorations afterwards.

Lilie bakery
Thank you! Donuts baked in the oven? Ah I had not seen this possibility! The recipes all mention oil, but don't be afraid of the result, you don't smell the oil, just the softness of the donuts.

They are superb, it's funny yesterday while placing a hard order Halwatishop I put the donut cookie cutter in my basket but took it out telling me next time. I'm starting to regret ...
Lilie bakery
Ah it's a shame indeed! Considering the price (4.90 € I think), I didn't hesitate, especially since it greatly facilitates the cutting work… @ soon!

Hello, I have fresh baker's yeast in a cube of 42G, how many grams does it take to be equal to a tablespoon like in your recipe ???
Thank you
Lilie bakery
Hello Florent, very good question, mine being in powder, I measured out in tablespoon… I believe that one tablespoon is equivalent to 15g. @ soon.

Thank you
jeanne
Hello ! It's going to be soon 1 hour that I'm looking for a recipe for donuts! Your recipe looks superb based on the comments and the pretty photos. Thank you ;)
Natacha
Hello, I am shocked that people can speak so badly on a post (I am talking about the insults of 2016) which is moreover unjustified. On Saturday I made my first donuts and it tasted so good that I didn't have time to dip them in chocolate! My husband jumped on it barely out of the oil and the children with Icing sugar…. I hope my batch today will finally be chocolate. They are perfect, nothing should be changed. I opted for 15g of fresh yeast. Thank you ...
Rose
Super good ! I made as specified the white chocolate icing with chocolate sprinkles it looks like real American donuts, thank you for the recipe
Laura
Hello,
Is it possible to make the donuts the day before for the next day? Do they stay also soft?
Lilie bakery
Hello Laura, it's not as good the next day (you know like the ones we buy at a fairground - they are better eaten immediately). But you can optionally cool them in the microwave the next day to see if they suit your taste.
Precillia
