Most of us have seen ring shaped doughnuts and so had I. I was bored of eating round and ring shaped one at M.O.D. Every day I see a lot of kids coming and eating doughnuts. It is a delight to watch them eat doughnuts. They generally tend to mess up their hands (ofc thy wanna eat them by themselves). I thought why not put them on a stick. Its trendy and less messy. There a lot of toppings that can go on them. Sky is the limit to your imagination.
INGREDIENTS
Refined flour / Maida - 200g
Fresh yeast (Try using fresh, It makes all the difference) - 5g
Sugar - 10g
Oil - 10g
Salt - 5g
Warm water (It should not be very hot, It can deactivate your yeast) - For kneading the dough
Oil - For frying
Pulverized sugar + Cinnamon powder - For dusting
METHOD
1) Make the dough on the cooking station. (directly on the platform). It help you work the dough better. Making a good dough is the most important of the steps.
2) Take the flour on the platform and form a heap. Make a well in the centre and add the yeast and sugar. add some water and mix well. Add the oil and salt.
3) Slowly add more water and knead the dough. Work the dough very well. It needs a lot of stretching and pulling. Atleast 5 - 7 minutes of vigorous kneading.
4) Let the dough rest for fermentation (1st fermentation) for about 20 minutes. By this time you dough would have doubled in side.
5) Now punch your dough to again flatten it and remove all the carbon dioxide from it. ( Punch it hard, Remove all the anger you have in you :P)
6) Now use some dusting flour (Maida) and roll the dough to about 1/4th thickness. Use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out your doughnuts. ( Tip - once having made the cut outs, Dust them with flour on one side. This side should be down during proofing (2nd fermentation). When you are letting the doughnuts for proofing place them on a greased surface or place. They are easier to handle)
7) Leave your doughnuts for proofing for about 35 minutes. They will double in size. Remember they are extremely delicate so handle them with care.
8) Fry them in oil. (The oil should be preheated in advance) Fry them till golden in colour. Your doughnuts are ready. All you have to do is sprinkle with some cinna - sugar mixture or drizzle some chocolate on them with some edible decorations and you are done.
Trust me, This is going to be fun :) :) Please let me know how you like it.
Any idea for the chocolate filling and topping that MOD has on their choco bomb?? Loved this recipe Neha... am gonna try it out as soon as I get the time..Do revert back if you can get the chocolate sauce filling and topping component as well.Keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteDear Sanket, MOD for filling the doughnuts uses a machine which is like a syringe. I will soon put up some extensions to this post to show some toppings. You can make a ganache ( Take some Compound chocolate, it is cooking chocolate bar available in brands like morde and marco. To this melted chocolate - Add same amount of fresh cream and mix vigorously. It will form a thick mass. You can decorate your doughnuts with this ganache. You can pipe out some whipping cream. I will put in some ideas in the coming week for sure. I will try to write an article on Decorating cakes / doughnuts and some frosting tips.
