Doughnuts

Based on this post by Little Swiss Baker.

They taste like slightly healthy doughnuts, since they aren’t fried.

Ingredients

• Flour: 220 g
• Baking powder: 1/2 tsp
• Salt: 1/2 tsp
• Sugar: 3 Tbsp
• Ground flax: 1 Tbsp
• Water: 20 ml
• Yeast: 4 g instant
• Soy milk: 100 ml warm
• Butter: 2.5 Tbsp
• Vanilla: 1 tsp

Directions

1. Warm water to between 100°F and 110°F and mix with yeast in small bowl. Set aside for yeast to wake up.
2. Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, flax) in large bowl.
3. Add butter to soy milk and heat to melt.
4. Add vanilla to soy milk and butter mixture.
5. Add combine everything with the dry ingredients.
6. Mix and then knead dough until smooth. This dough is not sticky, so kneading by hand works well.
7. Put the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
8. Let rise 1 hour.
9. Roll out to 1 cm thick and cut out doughnuts or doughnut holes.
10. Place on parchment lined sheets.
11. Let rise 1 hour or refrigerate overnight.
12. Bake at 350°F until light brown. From room temp this takes about 12 minutes, from the fridge it takes at least 17 minutes. If doing just doughnut holes, it might take a little less.

They are good when dipped in a glaze.
