American donuts covered in chocolate

Donuts are similar to our donuts, but they are more airy, softer and covered with multi-colored icing. We covered them with chocolate, it was very tasty.

Ingredients

• Flour - 640 g
• Sugar - 60 g
• Eggs - 2 pcs.
• Dry yeast - 14 g
• Butter - 90 g
• Milk 3.2% - 250 ml
• Salt - 1 pinch
• Vanilla
• For decoration:
• Dark chocolate, white (optional)
• Cream 33%
• Food coloring (optional)
• Confectionery topping

Directions

1. Preparing ingredients for American donuts.
2. Melt the butter (you can use margarine, but more tender with butter).
3. Also, for donuts, we need barely warm milk (not hot) of high fat content. (Mine is 3.2% milk. If your regular milk is 2.5%, add a couple tablespoons of heavy cream.)
4. For flavoring, I took vanilla extract, but it can be replaced with vanilla sugar or vanillin.
5. Eggs should be at room temperature.
6. Sift the flour several times.
7. How to cook American donuts (donuts) with chocolate:
8. We send all liquid ingredients to the mixer bowl or other large container.
9. Add sugar, a pinch of salt, dry yeast and flour in two additions.
10. Knead the dough in the combine for 5-8 minutes, starting at a low speed. The dough should be smooth and not sticky to your hands.
11. (If you will knead the dough with your hands, then first mix all the ingredients with a spoon, and then put it on the table and knead for 15 minutes.)
12. After that, the dough in the bowl can be covered with cling film and left on the table for 1 hour to rise. But I proof the dough in a slow cooker, lubricating the bottom with oil, at a temperature of 35 degrees for 30 minutes.
13. At the end of the time, roll out the dough to a thickness of up to 1 cm.
14. With a culinary ring or any round shape, with a diameter of not more than 9 cm, cut out circles. Then cut out the middle with a piping bag or bottle cap.
15. Prepare a baking sheet and cover with parchment paper. Using a wooden spatula, we shift the donut blanks there and leave to rise.
16. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it up quite a bit. (It's best to heat up the oil, then turn off the heat, wait 5 minutes, and then add the donuts to adjust to the temperature where they won't burn.)
17. We send 4 donuts to the pan and wait until they are golden on one side. (The butter won't sizzle too much, but that's fine. This will give you a white line down the middle of the donut.)
18. Turn over and continue frying. On the other hand, the donut will brown faster.

21. Put the finished donuts on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the remaining fat. Leave donuts to cool completely.
22. Preparing the ingredients for decorating American donut donuts. We divide the white chocolate into 2 parts, because we will paint it. We heat the cream of high fat content - they should be hot.
23. Pour some hot cream into the chocolate.
24. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. You can send it to the microwave or to a water bath.
25. Thus, we dissolve all the chocolate in the cream.
26. To dilute the powder dye, add a couple of drops of water and stir to dissolve the sugar. Pour the coloring into white chocolate, mix.
27. With gel coloring, everything is much simpler - just add 1 drop to the chocolate.
28. Half-dip donuts in chocolate, wait for a little glass and decorate donuts with chocolate with confectionery sprinkles.
29. Thus, we decorate all donuts.
30. American chocolate donuts are ready.
