How to make donuts without a form? ›

Take a square piece of foil and place it over one of your fingers. It needs to be large enough to cover the bottom of each cup in the muffin tin. A 5″×5″ square seemed to work best for me. Fold the foil around your finger, gently folding the sides up, to create a mold.

All-purpose flour works well for doughnuts since it has a moderate amount of gluten–the binding protein commonly used in baking. This gluten content helps create a dough that is strong enough to trap air, which helps create the fluffy doughnut texture we all love.

Stiff/Dense Donuts: Under proofed dough. Poke the dough, if it springs back too quickly they are under proofed and need more time. Cracked Donuts: The donuts could be under-proofed, you didn't get a clean cut on the donuts when cutting them out, or the dough was too cold.

Purchased cake flour will yield light and delicate doughnuts, just like the ones from a good bakery. DIY substitutions don't really cut it. AP flour will not create doughnuts with that same soft texture. Bleached cake flour will work best.

Ingredients and substitutions for these vegan baked donuts

These paleo donuts are made with coconut flour instead of a grain-based flour. Coconut flour has a subtle coconut flavor that goes really well with chocolate.

You just pop the dough in a muffin tin -- no special equipment needed for these fantastic crowd-pleasers. Donuts: 2 3/4 cups (13 3/4 ounces) all-purpose flour.

Vegetable oil is the go-to choice for many good reasons. Besides being cheap and easy to find, it has no problem handling high temperatures with a smoke point of around 400 degrees Fahrenheit — well above temperatures needed to brown donuts.

So what makes the two types of doughnuts different beyond their humble beginnings? It's mainly the leavening agent. Cake doughnuts, so named for their cakey taste and texture, are leavened with baking soda and baking powder, whereas yeast doughnuts are leavened with, you guessed it, yeast.

Water makes for a lighter dough with a more delicate bite. Milk produces a tender and soft dough with more of a chewy texture. These are super important in donuts as they provide richness as well as making them fluffy.

Yeast or raised doughnuts benefit from higher-protein bread flour, which gives the dough a bit more elasticity, so it can trap more air pockets and create the lightest of pastries.

What does egg do to doughnut? ›

Eggs are also added to the dough to provide flavour, texture, and structure. The proteins in the egg coagulate when heated, which helps to set the structure of the doughnut and create a fluffy, tender texture. Finally, the leavening agent (yeast or baking powder) is added to the dough to help it rise.

There's only one way to make doughnuts even softer and fluffier and that is by scalding some of the flour. Scalding is a technique used to not only make bread softer, but also to make it stay soft for longer. You can use it for pretty much any recipe you like.

Is A Baked Donut Recipe Healthier Than A Recipe For Fried Donuts? Yes, they definitely are. A typical fried glazed donut will be around 269 calories, while a baked donut will have much fewer. The difference is the fact that you won't be dealing with any extra fat from the oil from frying when you bake.

Place your donuts in storage bags or airtight containers.

Definitely put them in airtight bags or containers though so they stay fresh! The only time this isn't a good idea is when your donuts are cream-filled. In that case, you'll want to store them in the fridge so they don't spoil.
