        Is bread machine flour the same as bread flour? Can you use either?

          Elizabeth, I have found both kinds of flour work. Bread machine flour may result in a bit fluffier donuts.

          Yes you can use either. I did start buying some bread flour to use with white bread recipes. I use regular many times. Bread flour is said to have more volume.

      Hi Charlotte, this recipe is for donuts that need to be deep fried, I don’t have a recipe for baked donuts. I’ll let you know if I find one.

        Thank you….hubby can’t have deep fried, but loves jelly filled donuts….thought I could make some, The only ones I can find are made with canned biscuits….not really what I want. I wanted to use the bread machine because kneading is almost impossible for me. Arthritis and really crooked fingers….

      Hi, Charlotte and Laureen.

      You may havr found a baked doughnut recipe by now, but if not, Cookbooks 101 website has an excellent doughnut yeast dough for baking.

      However, I have both baked and fried same doughnut dough with no issues.

      Light, soft, and fluffy and stayed fresh and tender up to four days. I do tend to chill all dough ovetnight for ease of rolling and enhanced flavor next fay. I also tend to work with hydration up to 70%, but 65% is pretty standard for this type of dough.

      Hope this helps!

    Thank you! My batch turned out great. Better than what the doughnut shops nearby make. I used an Oster bread machine.

    Hi Laureen! this recipe looks so gret , my friend tried it with great success! Now only small thing we don’t consume eggs – is there any way to make this without the egg? Will any egg substitue work?

      Hi Sivakami, I think you may just have to experiment to see if an egg substitute would work. I, myself have not tried it. Let me know if you try and the outcome.

          Hi Bethany, I don’t think the donuts would turn out well overnighting the dough. But I have never tried.

    This was a super easy recipe. I would probably use only egg white next time I feel like it was still too doughy when I was done frying them. Also I used peanut oil and it was good.

    I made these with regular yeast and all purpose flour. They were very light and fluffy. I had a hard time frying the holes. They were difficult to roll over and got a bit over cooked. I will definitely make these again. Thanks Laureen!

      They should keep for a couple of days, although I find they taste the best the day they are made.

    Hello, I made your recipe today and dressed the donuts (and holes!) using glaze, icing with sprinkles, chocolate icing with sprinkles, cinnamon/sugar, and powdered sugar. I re-rolled the dough after cutting donuts and made cinnamon rolls, as well. They all turned out brilliant. Thank you.
