This post was born today, a baby post....after a really bad week, I decided to have some fun in the week-end
especially that it is a long one.
And yes, you read the title correctly,,I made some doughnuts, no big deal but the fun is I made some lollies out of the left over dough( the rounded pieces in the middle)
3/4 cup luke warm milk
2 1/2 TS melted butter
1 egg
2 1/2 ts active dry yeast
1/4 cup fine sugar
1/2 ts salt
3 to 3 1/4 cups of AP flour
The Glaze
60 gm bittersweet chocolate
2 TS milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 c conf. sugar
1 ts vanilla extract
1 1/2 ts corn syrup
sprinkle the yeast over 2 Ts of hot water and 1/2 ts of sugar, let it stand for 5 minutes or until foamy.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, add your flour
+sugar ,mix
Add the egg+butter+milk +the yeast
mix at low speed with the dough hook attached for 5 minutes.
cover and let the dough to proof for an hour or until doubled.
on a floured surface roll your dough into a large disc 0.5 inch thick.
cut with a doughnut cutter or any rounded cutter . and you can use a juice bottle cover to cut the small parts in the middle ( your lollies)
put your doughnuts on a baking sheet and cover it and let it rest for another 1/2 hour.
The glaze:
Put a saucepan on medium heat add your ingredients and whisk frequently until you got a smooth and silky look .
and HERE YOU GO!!!!
