Then stock up on flour and yeast and tune in to the creative way, today we have yeast donuts, which means it's almost a holiday.
Donuts on Yeast - General Cooking Principles
• Yeast dough for donuts is kneaded with milk, water or kefir using fresh or bulk “fast” yeast. It is prepared in the classic sponge method or in one stage.
• Yeast is mixed with flour very rarely, almost always before mixing, it is diluted in a small volume of warm, liquid base and mixed with other ingredients only after the yeast mixture rises with a frothy cap.
• Thoroughly kneaded dough with yeast, requires a long rise under certain conditions: in a warm place not in a draft. At this time, it must be covered with a canvas so that the top is not covered with a crust.
• Products are formed from dough rolled up by a layer, squeezing out blanks with a glass, or tear off small pieces from it and roll them with a ball. To obtain donuts in the form of rings, a small hole is cut out in the center of a blank extruded with a glass with a glass of smaller diameter. Donuts are formed with or without filling. Often, the stuffed donuts, filled with boiled condensed milk or jam, are filled with ready-made donuts using a pastry syringe.
• Fry donuts in a skillet in a large amount of vegetable fat or in deep fat. So that the products are well roasted and not burnt, the oil is heated to a moderate heat to 175 degrees. At a time, no more than four blanks are lowered into the fat so that they float freely and do not interfere with each other's rise.
• Finished products, after they have cooled down a little, are coated with specially prepared icing or sprinkled thick with powdered sugar. For more sweetness, you can completely roll them in powder.

Donuts on Yeast - cooking tips and helpful tips
• For a good “rise” of the dough, so that the products are lush, the yeast must be activated. To do this, they are bred only in a warm liquid and in no case do not overheat it, otherwise the yeast bacteria will die.
• It takes a lot of oil to deep-fry. To save it, use a small cauldron for frying or a thick thick-walled frying pan.
• Yeast dough quickly absorbs the poorly heated butter and the products are too fat. Dip the blanks in the fat only after it ceases to crackle and a slight haze appears over its surface, but not smoke.
