Homemade donuts in a frying pan on yeast

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Heat half of the water (100 ml) to a temperature of 38-40 degrees in a saucepan, pour it into a bowl in which we will knead the dough, add yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 100 grams of sifted flour. Stir and leave the dough in a warm place for about 10-15 minutes.

2. Step 2:

   

   We should have a so-called "cap".

3. Step 3:

   

   We also warm up the second half of the water, pour salt and the remaining sugar into it. Stir until dissolved.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour water with salt and sugar and melted butter into the approaching sourdough.

5. Step 5:

   

   Mix.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour in half of the remaining flour to be sifted.

7. Step 7:

   

   Mix. The dough begins to thicken.

8. Step 8:

   

   Pour the remaining flour (also sifted) in two or three batches, after each serving, mix. What consistency should the dough be? The dough is considered ready as soon as it ceases to be sticky and begins to lag well behind the walls of the bowl. You may have more or less flour, it all depends on its grade and quality.

10. Step 9:

    

    Spread the dough on the work surface and knead. I kneaded for another 5 minutes. I didn't need any more flour.

11. Step 10:

    

    We form a ball from the dough, put it in a dry bowl, cover it with cling film and let it come up. It took me 1.5 hours.

12. Step 11:

    

    The dough should double in volume.

13. Step 12:

    

    Divide the dough into pieces, the size of which will depend on the size of the donuts. I got an average of 7 pieces. We roll the dough into balls.

14. Step 13:

    

    We make a hole in the balls with our fingers, forming donuts. I put the blanks on pieces of parchment greased with vegetable oil so that they would not crumple when immersed in the fryer. We give the blanks to come up. It took me 15 minutes.

15. Step 14:

    

    We heat the oil in a bowl in which we will fry donuts. I used a small frying pan. We spread the blanks and fry them until browning. It took me 7 minutes on moderate heat on one side. I do not recommend making a strong fire, otherwise the donuts will quickly fry on the outside and remain raw inside. And if the fire is too small, they will be oiled. Therefore, I advise you to make a moderate fire and fry the donuts at a low boil.

16. Step 15:

    

    Turn the donuts to the other side and fry until cooked. I fried for 5 minutes. So fry all the blanks. Ready-made donuts can be put on a paper towel so that it absorbs excess fat. I sprinkled the pastries with powdered sugar, but this is optional.
