Brilio.net - Donuts are one of the foods that are very much liked by many people from various circles. The deliciousness of soft donuts with various toppings and fillings that are appetizing makes it a favorite choice for snacks. It is no wonder that many people then choose donuts as a selling idea that sells well and is profitable.
But besides buying them at the bakery, many people are now trying to make their own donuts at home. Although, the process of making donuts is not easy and requires precision. Making perfect donuts requires the right dough, proofing, and good frying techniques to produce a soft and fluffy texture.
In addition, the donut printing process also requires special tools to ensure uniform and neat shapes. Without the right printing tools, the resulting donuts can vary in size. This can certainly affect their appearance and maturity when fried. The challenges in the process of making donuts often make people reluctant to try making them themselves at home.
Even so, many people still like to make their own donuts at home. There are indeed a number of special techniques that can be done when making donuts, including at the printing stage. Printing donuts can be an easy job if you apply the trick done by the owner of the Instagram account @dapurbaking.

For the method, simply prepare the donut dough that has been proofed or let it rise. After that, take the dough and shape the dough into a long circle. Then flatten the ends of the dough a little using your hands or a rolling pin.

Next, take the other end of the dough and pull it in a circle. After that, glue the end of this dough to the flattened part. Stick it then close it until it is really tight. If so, tidy up each side of the dough that has been stuck earlier, it will stick even more.

Well, the results of donuts that have been printed in this way tend to be neater, you know. Even the holes in the middle are equally tight. If it is like this, the donuts can be proofed again or left to rise until they double in size. Then fry the donuts in a pan filled with hot oil.
Frying donuts so that they rise and cook evenly requires several important tips that need to be considered. Pay attention to the temperature of the oil when frying. The oil should be heated to a temperature of around 170-180C (340-350F). Too low a temperature will cause the donuts to absorb too much oil and become greasy. While too high a temperature will cause the outside of the donuts to brown quickly while the inside is still raw.
Fry the donuts for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Make sure not to overfill the pan so that the oil temperature remains stable and the donuts can cook evenly. Use tongs or chopsticks to carefully flip the donuts so that their shape remains neat. That way, the resulting donuts will rise perfectly, cook evenly, and have a soft texture and delicious taste.
