Sourdough Donuts
This healthier version of the delectable donut is just as delicious!
Equipment
- 1 Large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup sourdough starter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 cups flour I used 1 1/2 cup all purpose and 1 1/2 cup freshly milled flour.
Instructions
- The night before you want to make the donuts, add ingredients to the bowl of your stand mixer. Mix well and knead for 10-12 minutes.
- Place dough in lightly greased large mixing bowl. Cover, and allow to rise overnight on the counter.
- The next morning, place in the fridge until ready to shape. This makes the dough easier to work with.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
- Roll into a ball shape, flatten a bit, and cut out the donut hole. I use an olive oil lid.
- Alternatively, you can roll out the dough and cut with a biscuit cutter and then cut out the hole.
- Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap or damp tea towel and allow to rise for 1-2 hours or until noticeably puffy and airy.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes. My oven took exactly 15 minutes. If baking the donut holes, remove them after 10 minutes.
- Place on cooling rack until completely cooled.
- Top with your favorite icing or honey. Enjoy!
