Some things I make for the love of others. Iโve been known to gaze lovingly at ingredients. Wrap cookies in little bows, and present a friend with box of still warm chocolate chip cookies at just the right moment.
Other things I make because Iโm a selfish hungry girl. These doughnuts. Oh my God! These doughnuts I made because Iโm a selfish girl who loves loves loves doughnuts.
Three facts about this, my first doughnut making experience:
These puppies took me about 3 hours and 15 minutes from start to finish. I started craving them after my morning run, and sunk my teeth into my first warm doughnut bite around 2pm. Worth every minute! Seriously.
I burned my mouth, yes, four times eating donut balls that were just too fresh from the fryer. Worth it. Iโd do it all over again.
If I didnโt get the what was left after the โJoy vs. Doughnut Throwdown 2008โ out of my house, I might well have eaten every singe one. Not a joke. Fact.
If youโve never made doughnuts before, here is my advice to you: Oh my God! Take the afternoon off. Turn off your phone. Make these donuts. Eat five to eight, and then promptly walk over to your neighbors house and beg them to take the rest off your hands. If your neighbors arenโt home you might even want to call the cops, theyโll be able to stop you from eating the remainder. Youโll need handcuffs.
Oh My God! Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts!
Gourmet, December 2006
makes 1 dozen doughnuts
1 (1/4-oz) package active dry yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons)
2 tablespoons warm water (105โ115ยฐF)
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour plus additional for sprinkling and rolling out dough
1 cup whole milk at room temperature
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
About 10 cups vegetable oil for deep frying
Stir together yeast and warm water in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If yeast doesnโt foam, discard and start over with new yeast.)
Mix together flour, milk, butter, yolks, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and yeast mixture in mixer at low speed until a soft dough forms. Increase speed to medium-high and beat 3 minutes more.
Scrape dough down side of bowl (all around) into center, then sprinkle lightly with flour (to keep a crust from forming). Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) and let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled in bulk, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. (Alternatively, let dough rise in bowl in refrigerator 8 to 12 hours.)
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 12-inch round (1/2 inch thick). Cut out as many rounds as possible with 3-inch cutter, then cut a hole in center of each round with 1-inch cutter and transfer doughnuts to a lightly floured large baking sheet. Cover doughnuts with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until slightly puffed, about 30 minutes (45 minutes if dough was cold when cutting out doughnuts). Do not reroll scraps.
Heat 2 1/2 inches oil in a deep 4-quart heavy pot until it registers 350ยฐF on thermometer. Fry doughnuts, 2 at a time, turning occasionally with a wire or mesh skimmer or a slotted spoon, until puffed and golden brown, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain. (Return oil to 350ยฐF between batches.)
I also fried the doughnut holes for about 1 minute and them tossed them in powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar straight out of the hot grease.
Chocolate Glaze
recipe from Alton Brown
This is enough glaze for a double batch of doughnuts! ;)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup whole milk, warmed
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 cups confectionersโ sugar, sifted
Combine butter, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla in medium saucepan and heat over medium heat until butter is melted. Decrease the heat to low, add the chocolate, and whisk until melted. Turn off heat, add the powdered sugar, and whisk until smooth. Place the mixture over a bowl of warm water and dip the doughnuts immediately. Allow glaze to set for 30 minutes before serving.
Want more options for doughnut glazes? Chocolate doesnโt float your boat? See if any of these toppings fit your fancy!

Superb DOUGHNUTS recipe
Iโve never tried making my own douhnuts before, sounds like fun. Thanks for sharing.
Simon
Hi, these donuts look delicious. Ive made the dough and put it in the fridge to rise overnight but is the dough supposed to be really sticky and soft or just soft but not so sticky?? Thanks :)
Wow. Just made these, after having them bookmarked for years! They are amazing. I was scared of the deep frying thing and gooey sticky doughโฆ Neednโt have been cos they turned out delicious. Gorgeous and crisp on the outside and soft and melt in the mouth inside. Like you, these are a Joy. Sorry, could not resist!
I made the dough but it didnโt rise! The yeast was bubbling in the warm water when we added it to the dough. While mixing it the dough started to stick to the mixers too much. I hand kneaded it a little and put it in a warm place to rise. Any idea why it didnโt work?
Hey Iโm michelle and i really love your recipes!!!!! But i reall want to start a blogโฆ I kinda have alot of questionsโฆ.
1) what site did you go to?
2) when did you get coments?
3) how do you get the amazing pictures?
4) did you know i love all the recipes you gave?โฆ..he he he he
Thanks alot!!!!!
disappointed
thought all was well but when lifted donut from the tray it deflated and finished fried product looked very different then the pics on this page!
btw what does foamy yeast look like? do you mean it rises in the mixture?
Canโt wait to try these! What could I use as a sub for a dough hook? Thanks xx
No, sorry. Youโll need a dough hook.
do you have any suggestions for making pumpkin doughnuts? not the cake-y kind! :) thanks so much!
Iโve never made them for the blog, but Google would sure know.
Hi Joy!
These look absolutely delicious! Do you think I would be able to bake them instead of fry them? Would that totally freak them out?!
Helpful information. Fortunate me I discovered your website accidentally, and I am surprised why this coincidence did not took place earlier! I bookmarked it.
Nice answer back in return of this issue
with real arguments and describing everything on the
topic of that.
Im sorry but im really upset. They turned out to be very sticky. I thought it was ok and it will firm up after I rested it but no. Itโs too sticky to even roll it with a rolling pin. Itโs too hard to manage. I even checked the recipe thrice.
sounds like your doughnuts needed more flour!
I got real excited about these, ordered the Top Pot cookbook on Amazon and waited 5-8 days for it to come, then realized I canโt make these for a bake sale I am going to because they will be terrible the next morning due to the fact that they are not commercial chemical-laden beasts. Rather than being upset about this, I am taking it as a sign that I need to selfishly make them just for me and some key friends so we can eat them all before they harden like a heart filled with regret.
Oh my God, Joy! Thatโs exactly what I do everytime I made doughnuts! I mean I ate some of โem (too much, really) then gave the rest to my neighbors. I feel sorry all the time, after giving them all away.. But I have to! Otherwise my clothes wonโt fit anymore..
What do you do with the left over scraps after cutting out the doughnut shape, if you canโt re-roll them?
I just made these, and they are delicious!!! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. I did make a change though, I used pro-active buttery spread (for baking) instead of butter and I fried in olive oil. Will be making these again and again!!!
i guess ill start my diet next weekโฆโฆ
Oh boyโฆ..trouble here. Iโll be making these this week when friends come. Hope they eat a lot or take some home with them. Iโll have to insist.
Hey Joy!
Quick question, when youโre mixing all the ingredients together in the mixer, do you use a paddle or hook attachment? Also, does it matter what order you mix them all in or just throw them all in there?
Thanks! :)
you can just throw them all in thereโฆ and i used a dough hook, i believe.
I have been meaning to try these for months, and finally had a chance this morning. They are amazing! I only wish that your link to other glazes was workingโฆoh well, cinnamon and sugar worked just fine for me this morning!
Could you substitute vegetable oil for peanut oil?
yes!
these came out really well..infact i tried both these &the krispy kreme recipe..posted by other ..bloggers..these were way better..so much fluffier..and softer..and the chocolate ..glaze was to die for..i had made 2 batches..with.one with salted&the other with unsalted butterโฆi think the glaze tasted much better with salted butter..
I made these yesterday after wanting donuts for WEEKS and not finding a shop open when I went out left me no choice but to do them on my own and I AM GLAD I DID.
After letting them sit for their time of โrisingโ, I rolled these into a rectangle and made bars or Long Johns, and after findig out that I had NO powdered sugar, I used chocolate cake frostingโฆโฆโฆ.
WHAT AN AMAZING DONUT!!!
My son, loved to watch them cook as he has never had homemade donuts! Now he will sometimes.
Thank you!!!! YUMMY!!!
Hey Joy! I live in Africa, so I have to make just about everything from scratch. I canโt wait to try these. Iโve been really craving some doughnuts, so Iโm so happy to find this great recipe. Love your blog all the way from Africa!
Iโve been looking for a good doughnut recipe. Iโve tried some of your other recipes and I havenโt been disappointed yet so Iโm sure this one will be fantastic. I canโt wait to try it. One of my co-workers is having a birthday this week and I know sheโd much rather have doughnuts than a cake so hopefully Iโll get a chance to try it before then.
Just wanted to let you know that I tried these about a month ago and they were amazing! I made some chocolate, some vanilla, and some maple! Being someone who loves doughnuts more than the average person, Iโm so glad you convinced me that they are doable at home! I love your blog, Joy! :)
high five!!
I am a year late to the party, but I am SO happy I came. I am an experienced baker, but I have never tackled doughnuts. These are definitely worth the time. The dough is easy to work with and makes a delicious doughnut even without icing. I covered half with cinnamon-sugar, and the dipped the other half in Altonโs plain glaze (milk, vanilla, conf. sugar). These made people all around me very happy. Now I want to play around with the recipeโs spices (cardamom?) and icings. Thanks for the encouragement!
Thank you soooooooo much. They Were Wonderful, delicious and perfect .
SighโฆSo I watched Donut Paradise on Travel Channel todayโฆand had a reallllyyyy bad craving for Doughnutsโฆ.and now I see thisโฆ.you do realize where I am going with this?
These look absolutely perfect!

about how many donuts does this make?
First time I made doughnuts from scratchโฆ Oh my goodness! Joy, you are right I had to hurry and give the rest away before I ate them all! They were oh so yummy! Iโm making some more tomorrow!!! =)
Hi!
Um, so, I just made these, and, um, They Were Wonderful! Seriously, I never knew one could make doughnuts at home! So thank you, Joy the Baker!
Something tells me Iโm in a whole world of trouble after reading thisโฆIโll take your advice and make sure my neighbor is home because there is no way Iโll be able stop on my own. Did you really have to make them look so beautiful? I should probably just renew my gym membership indefinitely ;)
Just finished making these, it took a long time but so worth it. Iโve never fried anything before so I learned a lot. Other than the first couple that I BURNED, they turned out so good and cute. I used the chocolate glaze and colored sprinkles. Thanks for the great recipes and inspiration!
I made these last night sans the chocolate frosting. I rolled mine in powdered sugar & cinnamon sugar. I had to give some to the neighbors.
I went through two packets of yeast before giving up, I donโt think mine foamed, but the donuts still rose in the fryerโฆ
Great pictures! Iโve made the same Alton Brown recipe except dairy-free and was really happy with it. And Iโm sorry but baked โdoughnutsโ are not doughnuts but muffins with holes. Nothing beats fried dough.
Hi Joy, I am going to make these for my cousinโs wedding brunch. They look just wonderful. I would love to make part of the recipe the night before to save timeโฆdo you think the doughnuts will really turn out just as well if the dough is left to rise in the refrigerator overnight?
Oh my god is right! These look incredible!
totally off topic, but this is on the day of my 11th birthday!!!!!!!!!!
-catherine eng, almost 12!
Youโre tempting me to evil!!! ;-)
Good gravy, I do love a good old plain sugar glazed doughnut!
Awesome. LOVE the pic of the dough cut-outs. I would so hang that on a wallโฆ and gain worthwhile pounds just staring at it.
Loved all the great comments, too:)
Wow! These were really easy to make! Thanks for the instructions. I was a little scared at first because I donโt usually have good results from bread but after I got going, it was just as easy as piโ er doughnuts!
Thanks!
Wow this look like classics. UghhโฆI really want one right now, with a tall glass of milk. Plus those donut holes. WOW!
Your doughnuts look like perfection! I know if I made them I would eat WAY too manyโฆI must wait for a family vacation to make these bad boys, then I will have tons of family members to fatten up instead of me!
My son just asked me to make these for him! Great idea.
Yummy! I made them last night (finishing at 11 PM) and they are so good. Mine didnโt rise so well, so I have something to work towards next time. I told my daughter while we were driving โI want to make cut out donuts because Joy the Baker made them and they looked soooooo goodโ. She thought that was a hilarious thing to say and put me on her facebook quotes. She gobbled them up though :)
Yay, you made them! I love the blue jimmies on the chocolate. Theyโre so bright!
i had them first hand and they were delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I havenโt had good donuts in a long time, and my reaction to your post matched the title perfectly (Oh my God, donuts! lol). These just look awesomeโฆand best of all, sounds like something I can feasibly doโฆlol, this is a dangerous thing though, thatโs for sureโฆ
Ok Please donโt post things like this again. I canโt stand it, I want a donut right now but its 9pm and I canโt be eating donuts at this time of day. Your pictures are so good I might just have to stop to get a Donut in the morning now. Damn there goes my diet!
Oh my!! Now youโve done it. I have to make doughnuts again NOW! My son thanks youโฆ my thighs, yeah, not so much.
Oh, and your Dadโs pancakes are awesome. weโve made them twice already so thanks again for sharing!
Well I know what Iโm doing this weekend!
Oh bejeezzzzus these look amazing. I donโt know how you stay thin with all these amazing things in your kitchen at all times.
Oh, wow, these look absolutely amazing! Iโve bookmarked them to make next weekend- thank you for the recipe!
Would you please STOP! I canโt take it. Your photos/recipes look so good. Too much temptation. Iโm starting to think youโre lying to us all out here. As much as you appear to make and eat, how are you not like 800 lbs? You must run 16 hours a day! Seriously, I really donโt need any reasons to cook delicious things in hot oilโฆ.oh, it sounds soooo good.
BTW โ do you happen to have a great recipe for a maple glaze for dounts? Just in caseโฆof a donut emergency.
Ah, I remember my first timeโฆand I would have to agree about stopping time to make and consume them. At the risk of sounding like just another commenter plugging his/her own blog, I must implore you to check out a life-altering recipe for sourdough doughnuts I have on my blog. They may just change your life.
My husband loves doughnutsโฆI guess I better make them for him! Yours look perfect!
These are gorgeous!! They look perfect!!!
I just had to stop myself from licking the screen.
My secret love is warm, fresh donuts. Put a plate in front of me, and, like a dog, I eat them until my belly aches. True story- happened on my birthday last year.
Love the pictures! My favorite is the one of the donuts frying.
You are my hero!!!!!
know what would be cool? you supplying us with some other glazes for these amazing yet dangerous miraclesโฆ
oh sooooo evil yet sooo good!!
These look so gorgeous! Iโve wanted to make doughnuts for ages but have been scared by the large quantities of boiling hot oil. Must conquer my fear! K x
Mmmmโฆ donuts. <โ say it like Homer Simpson
Love me some donut holes. Iโll have to clear my schedule next week for these babies! Canโt wait!
/Clara
Those couldnโt look more perfect. You inspire me.. thatโs next on my list!
Those look fantastic. Helen and I love doughnuts so much we had a whole food blogger event for them. These are my favorite thoughโฆraised with sprinkles.
Joy, this is amazing. So good looking :)
oh. shit. look what you did.
Holy cow those look amazing! I love the chocolate ones. I made my own doughnuts a few months ago and it was so much fun.
Oh my, oh myโฆโฆโฆโฆ.how I DO love homemade donuts!!!!!! Love making them tooโฆ..my friend and I get together in the fall and make Apple Cider Donuts. Yeast raised donuts are my ALL TIME favorite though-especially with yummy Chocolate Glaze!
These look amazing Joy, simply amazingโฆ.and now am I EVER craving donuts!!!! :)
Homemade donuts are pure Heaven!! I believe every word you said. I would do the same exact thing. Just about eat all of them!
They look amazing Joy. I adore the little turquoise sprinkles/jimmies on top. Too freakin cute. I wish I lived next door. ;)
Mouthwatering, and thatโs just from the pictures!
I would literally make myself sick trying a doughnut from each batch โjust to make sure theyโre ok.โ Iโd love one of these after a runโฆ a perfect reward, right? :)
Your donuts look beautiful. And I should know. My job is frying donuts at the local grocery. Iโm not joking. The irony is that Iโve never really liked to EAT donuts. I just like to look at them. (and yours are really pretty!)
Sugar doughnuts sing autumn to me. I saw leaves that turned color yesterday, which means that I can make donoughts soon!
Wonderful looking donuts! I canโt agree with you more about oneโs feeling when making his first batch ever!
Ohhhhh โ the glaze on those doughnuts could be dangerous here! I love homemade doughnuts. Great job on your first time!
KRYPTONITE! KRYPTONITE!! If I made these, Iโd just lock the doors and stay inside, and then Iโd be on the news, one of those poor people being hauled out of their home by a crane, buried in a piano case. OMG those look amazing. Bookmarked for a time when I have lead pants and a bit of strength.
How on earth do you stay looking so fantastic when you have a steady supply of amazing baked goods at your fingertips each and every day?! I absolutely love to bake but given that my hubby & I love to eat what I bake, Iโve had to take a break so our clothes stop fitting so darn tight! Your Mocha Rum Cake is currently at the top of my โmust bakeโ list once I begin again and now, my dear, those doughnuts are #2! Iโm hoping you can give me some helpful hints on willpower + moderation since I absolutely dread runningโฆ
Oh my gosh! Very nice. I think you have a billion blue sprinkles to get rid of! I always see the blue sprinkles. ;) I donโt know if I am daring enough for donuts yet. I may be a bit scared.
Ev
Itโs a good thing my son wasnโt near when I clicked on this post โ he is a donut FIEND!!! Iโve bookmarked this post so I can give these a try in the not-too-distant future. I made my first batch of cinnamon rolls this week and those were pretty dangerous to keep around. I can only imagine how much more dangerous fresh donuts will be . . .
Drool. These are serious candidates over cheesecake for my dessert party Labor Day weekend. Lions and Tigers and Doughnuts! Oh My!
No way. You went to a gourmet bakery and took photos while they made donuts? No? You made them yourself?! You kill me. These are sooooo perfectly beautiful. Wow!
Iโve been lurking for some time. These were enough to get me to comment. Iโm going to make them tomorrow if all goes well. SO EXCITED. I also Stumbled! this. Thanks!
