Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Whey protein powder, unflavored
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 5 grams Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 120 milliliters Whole milk, warmed
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil, for frying
- 200 grams Powdered sugar
- 5 milliliters Vanilla extract
- 30 milliliters Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir well to mix.
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warmed whole milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix to form a sticky dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness on a floured surface.
Use a doughnut cutter or two round cutters (a large and a smaller one) to cut out the doughnut shapes.
Place the doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 180°C (350°F).
Fry the doughnuts a few at a time for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and water in a bowl until smooth.
Dip the warm doughnuts halfway into the glaze, then set them on a wire rack to allow the glaze to set. Serve warm and enjoy!
