* Doughnuts *

Who doesn't love doughnuts? Around here the company most referred to for doughnuts is Krispy Kreme. The dough for yeast-risen doughnuts, as opposed to cake doughnuts which are chemically leavened, is closely related to the basic sweet dough which is used for cinnamon rolls and sticky buns. Usually the dough for doughnuts has more fat and moisture than sweet dough, making it richer but lighter in texture. The dough rises once before it is shaped and then it proofs once more before being deep fried in oil. So what's your favorite ... plain, chocolate covered or filled? ~ Chef Wilkinson ~
