Zubereitung von Krispy Kreme Copycat
- Heat 1 cup (240ml) of water to 100-110°F (38-43°C). Dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons (7g) active dry yeast and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar in the warm water.
- Let the yeast mixture stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon (6g) salt. Using an electric mixer on low speed, gradually add the yeast mixture, 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, 1 large egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract.
- Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, or just until the ingredients are combined. Do not overmix.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface. Carefully turn the dough out onto the surface and gently roll it to a 1/2-inch thickness.
- Use a 3-inch, well-floured biscuit cutter to cut circles from the dough. Reroll scraps as needed.
- Use a well-floured lid from a plastic soda bottle (approximately 1 1/2 inch diameter), to carefully remove the center of each donut.
- Place the donuts on lightly floured baking sheets. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- While the donuts are rising, heat about 3 cups (700ml) vegetable shortening in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- Carefully fry 2-3 donuts at a time in the hot shortening for 1 1/2-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the fryer.
- Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
- Let cool for a minute or two before glazing.
- **Glaze:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar with 2-4 tablespoons (30-60ml) boiling water until smooth. Add a pinch of salt to taste. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed. Glaze the cooled donuts and enjoy!
