Procedure
0. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar, and yeast. Add the eggs, warm milk, and vanilla extract. Knead until smooth. Add the softened butter and salt, continuing to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
1. Rising: Form the dough into a ball, cover the bowl with cling film and leave to rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until doubled in volume.
2. Shape the donuts: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1 cm thick. Using a pastry cutter or glass, cut out circles, and using a smaller pastry cutter, make a hole in the center of each circle to create the classic donut shape.
3. Second rising: Arrange the donuts on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, cover with a clean tea towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
4. Frying: Heat the oil in a deep pan to 170°C. Fry the donuts a few at a time, turning them halfway through, until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
5. Prepare the icing: In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar with the hot water and unsweetened cocoa powder until you obtain a smooth icing.
6. Decorate: Dip the tops of the donuts in the glaze and decorate with chocolate sprinkles or colored sugars, as desired. Let the glaze dry before serving.
7. 📌 Tips: For a lighter version, you can bake the donuts in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 minutes, until golden brown. Donuts are best eaten fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.
