My mom's friend miss Rebekah gave her a doughnut recipe for me to try, and I did! I made the dough for the doughnuts last night and that was quite interesting. I put a damp rag on top of the bowl that contained the dough then I turned the broiler on in the oven to make the inside warm... I wanted to just leave it on for a second, but I put the bowl in the oven and forgot to turn it off! I looked to see if the dough had risen at all and when I opened the oven door the rag was smoking and it smelled so bad! I was thinking,"Oh No! The dough is cooked!" But when I took it out and lifted up the previously damp rag that was now dry and burned, it was fine! Since the rag had been damp it had saved it! Not only was it uncooked it had risen faster because of the heat! Haha! I took it out forty-five minutes too early and punched it down, covered it with plastic wrap, and put it in the fridge. I had forgotten all about it, that is until I went downstairs to get a drink of water. I looked in the fridge to check on it and to my surprise and amazment the dough had risen three times it's size! This is after I had already punched it down once. It had pushed the plastic wrap off the bowl and gone over the sides! Then I punched it down again... This morning when I woke up at 7:30am (When I wanted to wake-up at 6:00am, but my iPod alarm didn't go off!) I looked in the fridge and the dough had risen again for a third time!!!!! I took a picture of it. It's not as crazy of a rise as it was last night, but still. It rose three times! I didn't punch it down this time instead I just flowered-up the table and fliped the risen dough onto it and rolled it out... After I rolled it out I used a cup to make the doughnuts and a vitamin bottle cap to make the doughnut holes haha! (you gotta make due with what you have.) then I let them sit for ten minutes. It was supposed to be thirty, but I had to get breakfast made. Then I fried them, glazed them and put them on a plate. They didn't turn out quite as fluffy and airy as miss Rebekah's cause I added extra flour to the dough, but they tasted good! I took pictures that I will post as soon as I get them on my iPod.
Pics...
Told you! Haha
Mmm I could eat them already!... Maybe not haha!
Now I could! And I did.
My favorite one.
America Runs on Dunkin! Lol! Personally I like Starbucks!
I'm not a very big coffee drinker.
1. Cause I don't want kidney stones.
2. Cause my teeth get stained easily!
3. Cause I get a stomach ache if I drink too much.
But I love the taste! And I had to have coffee with a homemade doughnut! So I poured myself a small cup. =~) But I could drink Starbucks frappuccinos till the cows come home! Haha
Mine turned out kinda dense... But deffinetly not as dense as the ones I made last time!
Naomi and Emma give it a thumbs-up!
