Yeast-Raised Doughnuts
I’ve had several requests for soft and light yeast-raised doughnuts. Well, they definitely don’t get any softer or lighter than these yummy ones here. Took bites out of 2 just so you can see the fluffy airy insides…soooo soft and delicious!
Instructions
- For the DonutsAdd the yeast to the warm water in a small bowl, cover and set aside for about 5-10 minutes.In the meantime sift the flour. Add the salt and sugar. Stir with a whisk just to combine everything properly. Once the yeast has proofed/become activated (it will have swollen up and become bubbly in the water), add it to the flour.Now add the melted butter, beaten egg and the warm milk. Stir everything together and knead to form a sticky dough. You can use the hook attachment if you’re using a machine, otherwise you can just do this by hand. Remember, you want the dough a little bit sticky. So if it’s tooo sticky to handle, dust a bit of flour or oil your hands lightly and knead, but try not to get it too firm as that will not give you light and soft doughnuts. Knead for about 4-5 minutes, then turn the dough into a lightly greased bowl and cover with cling film. Set aside for about an hour or until the dough doubles in volume.
- Once risen, knock the air out of the dough, turn it out on your work surface and roll out to a little under a half inch thickness. Cut out your doughnuts and set them aside on a floured surface or tray. Keep the doughnuts covered with a light kitchen towel.Bunch together all the scraps of dough and keep forming doughnuts until all the dough is used up.Let the shaped doughnuts rest and rise for about another hour.Heat your oil. If you have a kitchen thermometer, get the oil to about 170-180 C. This is the ideal temperature for frying doughnuts.Fry the doughnuts, maintaining the heat on medium. If the oil gets too hot, the doughnuts will color too quickly and remain doughy in the center. Drain on a rack until all the doughnuts are fried.Once they’ve cooled, you can glaze or sugar-coat them according to your preference. Here are the glaze recipes I used.
- Ingredients & Instructions for the GlazeFor sugar glaze, measure out 1 cup of icing sugar, add a few drops of vanilla essence to it, then gradually add warm milk or water a tsp. at a time and mix until it becomes smooth and of a thin consistency. Make this right when you are about to dip the doughnuts as the glaze will set as it dries on the doughnuts.For chocolate glaze, I just melted cadbury’s milk chocolate, added 1 tsp. butter to give it a shine and a tiny pinch of salt to add depth of flavor to the chocolate. Then dip the doughnuts one at a time and place them on a rack until the chocolate sets. If you want, you can add sprinkles or whatever toppings you like before the chocolate sets.Otherwise you can dust some icing sugar on the doughnuts or even just serve them plain, or top them with some warm jam. Anything you like! 🙂Enjoy! 🙂
Notes
- Have an extra quarter cup of flour handy in case the flour gets too sticky you can sprinkle some more a little at a time.
- If you are kneading the dough at night and want the doughnuts for the following day, after kneading the dough and putting it in a bowl, cover with cling film and refrigerate. The dough will slowly rise in the refrigerator, and the next day you can just proceed to shape and fry your doughnuts. DO NOT cover with aluminum foil.
great will try this..i recently read that nutmeg is haram
Can these be baked?
will try it later dis evening sounds yummmmmmyyyyyyyyyyy
They r really temptin!!!
Wow!it luks yummy,I’ll try it insha Allah,thnx vry much for this great contribution.
I love doughnut a lot ! Thx so much, I will definitely try it.
really great recipe luv the way its explained.
@ amatullah:
nutmeg is jaifel n where did u read its haram? I seriously wud like to read it.
Its a nut which is used in cooking to enhance flavours, whats haram about this.
salaam fauzia sis, anything I can add in place of egg??? i want to make them so badly….
W/Salaam, well the egg adds to the fluffiness, you can try replacing it with 2 tbsp of thick fresh yoghurt. Let me know how they turn out with that replacement, I personally have never made them without egg but normally yoghurt works well as an egg-replacer.
Asslamaolikum…fauzia aapi i tried ur this recipe they turned out perfect & very delicious & yeah i used youghurt instead of egg…….
Today i was craving for
Today i was craving for donuts but had run out of eggs…..thanks a ton for mentioning the substitute for eggs. Yoghurt worked really well. The dough was soft and more than doubled in size.
The result was super soft chewy donuts.
can ds n md without baking???
What do you mean Sami? These are fried not baked!!
Oops my bad!!!
I am in the process of making these n I feel 18 will be a bit too many doughnuts.. Can we make anything else with this dough?? I want to utilize it completely !!!
I only have ever used this dough for doughnuts. 🙂
Fabulous !!! i just love u n all ur recipes though I ended up making all doughnuts…hehehe 🙂 God bless you fauzia
Fouzia sister i tried this recipe 2 time but the problem im facing my dough is not raising even after 2 days .. i changed my Instant yeast than try the recipe with the new one .. i remember i follow ur recipe step by step .. tell me the solution what to do .. as i experienced this problem first time and i had tried your Bread Cones, Bread pokaras and many other recipes they all turn out very delicious
Please tell me what i have to change or replace to make this yummy donuts ..
waiting for your reply
thx
Hi dear, strange that the dough is not rising even after you’ve given it so much time! It normally would mean the yeast you used has not worked well. Are you using Instant yeast? Coz if you are using a different type of yeast, say Active Dry for example, then this could be the reason why your dough is not rising, as those kinds of yeasts needs to be activated with warm water before using, unlike Instant yeast which can just be added directly into the flour. Please confirm.
thx sister i made them again and posted a picture on FB now this time they turn out EXCELLENT what i did wrong i added instant yeast into the warm water .. after that when i read the note about DOUGH PROBLEM i understand the where i did mistake
JazaAllah 🙂
mmmmm, theser very tasty 4 ramadan
how much is 3/4 milk? thanks
That is about 150ml.
Why does the recipe state to activate the instant yeast in water first …..if ur not meant to ??
I tried the recipe following the instructions and my dough hasn’t risen because I followed the instructions and placed yeast in warm water first. Please clarify and or modify recipe please.
Fatima, usually Instant Yeast does not require being activated first. It doesn’t hurt to activate it in warm water, but it is not imperative. It will work either way. I just find by activating it FOR THIS PARTICULAR RECIPE, the results turn out better than when adding directly. If the dough hasn’t risen even though you followed the recipe exactly, then try and check whether the yeast was good to begin with, or whether the water you used was too hot or too cold. When you added the yeast in warm water, did it froth? If it didn’t then you may need to get a fresh batch of yeast.
love your receipees, keep em up….
what are you using to shape this… sis FKF
A glass for the big circle and a bottle top for the inside one.
hi fauzia,do u melt the butter before measuring or u measure then melt it?
Hi! I melt then measure.
Looks yummy,will try it in shaa Allah.
Salams Fauzia, wud lyk to kno wot milk u used asap..
W/Salaam, when it says milk it is ALWAYS fresh milk. Anything else and I would indicate it in the recipe.
Salaam Fauzia. How long can you store the doughnuts? I was wondering if I could make these and stock them for my little one’s snack. I can change the toppings every time. Please let me know. Thanks!
W/Salaam, they are good for about a couple of days but stored for too long they may get stale. Wrap them well and refrigerate, then warm them up as needed.
Thanks, Fauzia. If I wrap them and refrigerate, can they stay good for a week?
Yes they should be fine for a week if well wrapped.
Salam, pls what can I use to replace the butter? And can I reduce d recipe by half?
W/Salaam, you can reduce the recipe by half, but nothing will be the best substitute for butter. Try margarine.
Fauzia could you plz tell me which yeast to use? Every time I make doughnuts they don’t rise.
I normally use SAF Instant Yeast. 🙂 Please read this note to figure out why the doughnuts are not rising. Yeast
salamz fauzia sis!
cn i knw hw long should we beat the egg? till fluffiness? and we shuld glaze the doughnuts hot hot or after letting it cool after frying? hpe my questions r clear…..:) pls reply soon
W/Salaam, if you check in the ingredients, I have mentioned that the egg should be lightly beaten. And best to let the doughnuts cool before glazing so the glaze gets a chance to set nicely.
jazakallah sis! i will try it nd let u knw…:)
Salamz sis!!!!!! i made dese lovely doughnuts…. All thanks to Allah nd to u….i got vry gud cmnts frm hme….all credit goes to u…….jazakallah
hi,can the recipe be used to prepare them with the doughnuts machine or the recipes varies with this!!!!!!!!!
Hi, that’s a different type of recipe, have never tried the doughnut machine version.
plz tell me what is cling film. wl it be available in peshawar? is there any alternative?
It’s a kind of plastic wrap. You can use any plastic cellophane bag.
Salaam sis. Can u plz tel me how to make chocolate fill donuts i means chocolate filled inside da donut…….
W/Salaam, will post a recipe soon inshaAllah.
Hi ..fauzia apu my dough has bcomr very sticky and its impossible to tll and make into shapes..wat to do.:(
Hi, sprinkle a bit of flour and knead it in.
Salaams Fauzia,
Can I use your Ganache recipe to glaze the doughnut instead of the one mentioned in the recipe? Will it set well?
Thank you..
W/Salaam. Yes that is fine.
assalamu aleikum..
i fried dem,, bt thr were air bubbles inside the doughnuts.. why is dat??????
W/Salaam, did you knead the dough well? 🙂
yesss,, its glad to tl u i tried again,, with more thickness,, it ws reallyyy good,,, he hee
im so happy that the donuts ive made today using your instructions and recipe turned out to be a great success Alhamdulillah :)My daughter and hubby loves it. Thanks so much for being such a great help!!
we use powder form sugar aur as it is .we can use sugar
Regular granulated sugar.
salamz sis, can i know how much does 1 cup of flour represent?
W/Salaam, 120gm.
Nice fauzi deedhi…..i made it…thank u fr d recipe….
hi,sis my problem is i measherd the flour correctly as u have shown in your recipe but i coudnt add full of milk because a little milk was enough for dough and already the dough was little sticky i didnt add water too….
can we bake the doughnuts
Yes you can. At 180 C preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes on a greased tray.
Assalamu Alaikum, pls I want to make the dough in a bread maker, do I need to reduce any ingredient or change anything since am using d bread machine?
Assalam o laikum,
thank you so much for this recipe.i tried this.. though everything came out perfect, i wasn’t satisfied with the amount of oil it had inside. i am not sure wether i needed to drain them real long, or was it the readymade icing i used… but there was just so much oil in it…. can these be baked instead? if yes, what temp is ideal…? also i forgot to add vanilla essence…
a few seconds ago · Like..
W/Salaam, that is strange as there shouldn’t be that much oil as you have described. Have never tried baking them myself, but yes you can if you like. 180 C.
W/Salaam, have never tried making dough in the bread maker. But it should be fine just follow the recipe exactly.
Salam! Sis can I use donought maker?
Have never tried it in a doughnut maker.
hi can u tell me it i use instant yeast which is used directly in flour should i also add warm water 2tbsp directly in flour or skip adding water thanks…..
Hi, yes for this recipe add the warm water even though you are using instant yeast. It just gives better results that way for some reason. 🙂
How to melt the chocolate?
In the microwave or on a double boiler, not on direct heat.
Hi,
can the butter be replaced with ghee??
thanks
Hi, no you will need butter for this recipe.
Hi,
Can we use oil instead of butter?
Hi, wouldn’t recommend it.
I made them today, and they turned out really good. Thanks alot 🙂
The only thing about which, I am doubtful is sugar. are we suppose to use 1/4 cup of sugar or more can be used? I used 1/4, and felt that it should be more sweet (without any glaze )
Thanks for the feedback. I guess sweetness is a matter of personal preference. Best to make a syrup or ganache or melt some chocolate and drizzle them over the doughnuts.
One more clarification, when you mention sugar does it mean
regular white sugar
or
castor sugar
Regular.
asalkm i tried ur chkn bread it was excellent nd every1 really liked it i just wanted to know if dried yeast cud b used in doughnuts as v r nt getting instant yeast
W/Salaam, thank you and yes you can use dried yeast. Add a little bit extra yeast, about a half tsp extra.
Hi fauzia,tried d doughnuts but had a problem with the glaze it wasn’t as sticking to the doughnuts,it was as if it was being sucked into the doughnuts.
Hi, maybe the glaze was too thin/watery? Thicken it slightly next time by using more icing sugar or less liquid.
Salam dear, my question is can I prepare d doughnut dough at night and then refrigerate overnight because I want to make ddoughnut for breakfast and can d dough rise when I do dat?
W/Salaam, yes that is absolutely fine. In fact you can make the dough, allow it to rise, then cut the doughnuts and place them on a well floured tray. Then cover them with a loose plastic sheet so they do not dry out. Don’t tighten the plastic, they will expand in the fridge. In the morning get them out and let them sit for a while outside, like half an hour or so, then fry and serve. Saves on time. 🙂
Salam sister,
Salam sister,
I’m using “dried active yeast”. Is that the same as you mention in the recipe??
No, I use instant yeast.
No, I use instant yeast.
hi fauzia..is.it ok if i make
hi fauzia..is.it ok if i make equal balls of the dough n then use a bottle cap to make a hole?
The thickness may not be even
The thickness may not be even and the sizes will vary, but yes you can do it that way if you want.

Hi! I really did not measure,
Hi! I really did not measure, just melted 1 bar of cadbury’s dairy milk chocolate, the plain bar, and dipped as many of the doughnuts as I could to use it up. 🙂 I would approximate 100 gm maybe.

Asslam alikum i have a series
Asslam alikum i have a series of question to ask you about the donuts…
1)so far i have tried many donuts recipes they have risen but they were not as soft as available in the market…my question is are your donuts really soft? the kind that dissolves immediately when bitten?
2) donuts are supposed to be sweet but i noticed in your recipe the amount of sugar used is not much….can i increase d amount to make it a bit more sweet?
3)your recipe makes 18 donuts since i am trying out i will prefer to cut down the ingredients to half so that if for some reason results are not good its not wasted…my question is i will just half the amount every ingredient right? what about egg? should i use half beaten egg or 1 will be fine? n esp what wil be the amount of yeast required then?
4) last question you used salted butter or unsalted butter?
in the end i will like to thank u in advance and will like to praise your work….not only are your recipes good you also have presented explained and maintained your work in the most user friendly way…thank you keep up the good work!!
W/Salaam, these doughnuts
W/Salaam, these doughnuts should give very soft results if kneaded well and the dough is made nice and soft. The sugar amount is perfect for the recipe but you can add more if you want. And yes you can cut the ingredients in half, everything will be halved including the egg and yeast. Unsalted butter is preferable to me but any works. Thanks!

W/Salaam, mix icing sugar
W/Salaam, mix icing sugar with a tiny bit of milk or lemon juice and then add a few drops of red colouring (for pink glaze) or green for a green glaze. Mix and use. Yes you can use Hershey’s syrup for glazing but please note that it will not set, it will be a watery glaze.

I used mauripan instant yeast. This happened to me be4, when I made the chocolate moist cake too..
W/Salaam, thanks. Am not sure
W/Salaam, thanks. Am not sure what could cause the carbon taste you are describing. What is the common ingredient you used for both these recipes? Because the moist cake does not contain yeast so am doubtful whether the yeast is the issue.

Salaam alaykum. I love your website fauzia. I want to make these doughnuts. Two questions.
You’ve mentioned that we can knead the dough, leave to rise, roll and shape and then place them in the refrigerator to fry the next morning. About how many hours would it take to rise in the refrigerator. Would you know? Would about 4-5 hours be enough or would it need to be about 8 hours?
Also, is hamira the same as instant yeast used in your recipe?
Also, What kind of plastic wrap would you advice to cover with while in the refrigerator? I’m thinking cling film wrap would stick isn’t it?
Looking forward to hear from you.
Salaams.
W/Salaam, yes 4-5 hours
W/Salaam, yes 4-5 hours should be ok. Hamira is yeast, and yeast comes in different types. Instant, Active Dry, Fresh yeast etc. It normally says it on the pack. I use cling film.
Thank you fauzia! Can’t wait

Thanks for the wonderful feedback, am so glad it turned out well for you. With yeast dough, I would not risk it staying a couple of days in the fridge as it will keep on proofing/rising and the results might end up smelling or tasting quite yeasty.
