How to make the best homemade donuts
Can you make donuts without a mixer?
Yes, of course you can. Using a stand mixer saves time, but it's just as easy to prepare by hand. Simply whisk all the ingredients except the flour together in a bowl. Once combined, add the flour little by little while mixing with a wooden spoon. Once all the flour is added, transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it like bread dough, until you have a smooth, lump-free dough with a soft surface. You'll know you're getting close when the dough is no longer sticky.
We leave you this video by Beatriz Echevarría that explains very well how to knead by hand:
Can you freeze dough? And donuts?
Yes, both the dough and the donuts can be frozen.
To freeze the dough:
If you plan to freeze the donuts without frying them, cut them out and let them rise on parchment paper. Once they've risen, transfer the paper to a tray and cover it with plastic wrap before placing it in the freezer. The dough will last up to a month frozen. On the day you want to cook them, defrost them well before frying them to avoid oil splashing.
To freeze donuts:
To freeze pre-baked donuts, simply wrap them tightly in plastic wrap individually to prevent crystal formation. It's best to freeze them unglazed and glaze them the day you're ready to eat them.
How to prepare Berlinas
This recipe is perfect for both donuts and Berliners.
If you want to make donuts, simply cut out the doughnuts without cutting out the holes. Once fried, add your favorite filling by making a small incision with a knife and using a syringe or piping bag.
