Ingredients
DOUGH
- 1 egg
- 35 g white caster sugar
- 16 g vanilla sugar
- 8 g orange zest
- 200 ml milk
- 50 ml fresh orange juice
- 10 g instant yeast
- 600 g flour
- 4 g salt
- 45 ml water
- 45 g margarine
EXTRA
- 5 ml sunflower oil
SUGAR GLAZE
- 150 g powdered sugar
- 30 ml water
Recipe
- Crack the egg into a bowl and add white caster sugar and vanilla sugar. Whisk for 4-5 minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy and light yellow.
- Incorporate the orange zest, lukewarm milk, orange juice, yeast, flour, and salt into the mixture. Mix thoroughly and knead firmly, then add lukewarm water and continue kneading for another 10-12 minutes.
- Add the margarine and knead until the dough is smooth. Grease the bowl with sunflower oil, place the dough inside, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangular sheet, approximately 27×32 cm, with a thickness of 1.5 to 2 cm.
- Use a donut cutter (or a pastry ring and a bottle cap) to cut out the donut shapes.
- Arrange the donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until they double in size.
- In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar with water to create a glaze.
- Heat a layer of sunflower oil in a frying pan to 175°C (medium-high heat). Fry the donuts until they are golden brown on both sides. Drain them on kitchen paper.
- Coat the warm donuts fully in the sugar glaze and let them cool. Enjoy!
