Doughnut

The doughnut is a classic American confection that's transformed into a foodie favorite. It is a small cake of sweetened or, sometimes, unsweetened dough fried in deep fat, typically shaped like a ring or, when prepared with a filling, a ball. Variations on doughnuts are popular all over the world, where they are called by a wide variety of names, although the basic incarnation of fried sweet dough remains the same.

Fried dough was introduced to New York back when the area was known as New Amsterdam and Dutch was the predominant language. The early Americans took the fact that the treats were fried in oil quite literally, naming them olykoeks, translating to "oily cakes." The word 'donut' came soon after when a woman is said to have put nuts in the dough before frying it.

Doughnut should have a sweet aroma and nice, yeasty flavor — with or without the frosting. It shouldn’t rely on frosting or glaze to make or break it. Instead, the frosting will complement the flavor of the doughnut.

Glazed donuts reign supreme as the most popular donut. An average glazed doughnut contains about 11g (0.39 oz) of fat and 10g (0.35 oz) of sugar, and it's the combination of these two ingredients in particular that makes it so irresistible.

Whether they’re cake, yeast, or old-fashioned style, glazed doughnuts are made with mostly the same ingredients: flour, sugar, yeast or baking powder, eggs, milk, buttermilk, or sour cream, butter or shortening. After the batter is made, the doughnuts are shaped and fried in oil. Doughnuts (donuts) are made with an dry yeast.it ensures that the dough rises well, especially when it's resting in the refrigerator, and it gives donuts the unique characteristic flavor.
