Donut

Do you like donuts? I do. I think most people eat donuts even if they don't really fancy them but they do enjoy having them either for tea or breakfast. I sometimes make my own donuts since I enjoy playing with flour....kneading the dough..I always have the ingredients ready in the cupboard. My recipe for donuts is the same recipe for my pizza dough but of course, instead of rolling the dough flat to form a pizza base, I use a donut cutter to form rings of donuts. Donuts can be served with snow like icing sugar or honey.....but my children love having them with chocolate. Lots of chocolate ! Well, who doesn't ?

Tips :
-pizza,bread, donuts or any dough that contains yeast can be proofed in the refrigerator. If it happens that you have leftover donuts or pizza dough, you can put it in a plastic bag, and keep it in the fridge. When you want to use it the next day, just take it out and it's ready to use.
