Assorted Doughnuts

MrHubby was oncalled yesterday and I decided that I would make him doughnuts for his tea. I was planning to make these doughnuts since last week as it was Doughnuts' Week last week. This recipe is a keeper. The doughnuts were so soft and delish. And I made white chocolate and milk chocolate topping and sprinkles (roasted almond flakes, chocolate rice, sugar sprinkles) for the doughnuts.

It was cold and raining yesteday afternoon when me and Babyzara walked to the hospital. Babyzara was excited to go out for a walk but I didn't as I'll be walking in the rain. MrHubby drove to the hospital yesterday morning so I have no choice but to walk to the hospital. (took about 20mins to get there walking)

So here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 500g bread flour/ strong white flour
• 100g sugar
• 11g instant yeast (I used 7g/1 packet instant yeast)
• 4 egg yolks
• 200ml water 
• 100g butter (I used 50g butter and 50g shortening)
• 1 tsp salt
• Cooking oil to fry the doughnuts

Decorations (use your imagination):

• Roasted almonds
• White chocolate
• Milk chocolate
• Sugar sprinkles

Note: Easy way to melt the chocolate is using microwave. Put your chocolate into microwave-safe bowl and using the full power, microwave your chocolate 10secs at each cycle. After each cycle stir your chocolate. Repeat the steps until your chocolate is melted and shiny.

Method:

1. I dumped everything (except for the cooking oil) into the bread maker (BM) and select the dough setting. Let the BM do its job (1hour and 30mins)
2. After that, took the dough out and punch the air out. Make the doughnut shape.
3. Let the doughnuts proof for about 40mins-1hour.
4. Then fry them on medium heat for 2-3minutes on each side. (be careful not to overcook the doughnuts)
5. Let them cool on wire rack then you could start to decorate them as you like.

Its easy and its yummy!
