APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUTS (YEAST RAISED)

Apple Cider Doughnuts (Yeast Raised) image

Found this in The Washington Post. They attribute it to Edible Chesapeake - a beautiful quarterly that is part of a nationwide "Edible" community focusing on local sustainable produce - www.ediblecommunities.com/content/ . I'll be using good old eastern VA peanut oil for this recipe in place of the canola oil. They turn out to be the lightest, puffiest, tender non-greasy doughnuts - move over Krispy Kreme! You've been replaced. No Kidding! Next time I make I'll be adding some grated apple to the dough & using apple cider to make a glaze (not that there's a thing wrong with lots of cinnamon sugar that is LOL).

Time 51m

Yield 8-10 3 inch doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/2 cup apple cider (1/4 cup of it warmed to about 110 degrees)
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 small packet)
3 1/4 cups flour, plus more for dusting the work surface
3/4 cup whole milk, at room temperature
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
canola oil, for greasing the proofing bowl and for frying

Steps:

Place the 1/4 cup of warm cider in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Sprinkle the yeast on the surface of the cider and let stand for about 5 minutes, until foamy.
Add the flour, the remaining 1/4 cup of cider, milk, butter, egg yolks, the 2 tablespoons of sugar and the salt. Beat on the lowest speed until the flour is incorporated, then increase the speed to medium and beat for about 5 minutes to form a soft, elastic dough that creates a ball around the dough hook.
(Alternatively, you can mix the dough by hand with a wooden spoon until it forms a wet, sloppy mass. Oil your hands and give the dough a few turns using the heel of your palm against the edge of the bowl.).
Use a little of the oil to lightly grease the inside of a large bowl and place the dough in the bowl. Cover with a clean dish towel and place in a warm spot. Let the dough rise for about 1 1/2 hours, until it has doubled in bulk.
Flour a clean work surface. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and have a wire rack ready. Heat enough oil to fill about 3 inches in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over high heat.
Punch down the dough; it will be sticky. Place the dough on the floured surface, then roll it out to a thickness of 1/2-inch, adding flour as needed to keep the dough workable. Use a 3-inch doughnut cutter or two cookie cutters, in 3-inch and 1/2-inch sizes, to create 8 to 10 doughnuts. Do not reroll the dough; because it is leavened, it needs the rising action for structure. Rerolling will flatten the lift you've achieved. Save any scraps for frying.
Place the doughnuts on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with the clean towel and let the doughnuts and any scraps of dough rise for 15 to 30 minutes, until well puffed (they do not need to double in bulk).
Combine the remaining 2 cups of sugar and the cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Once the oil reaches 325 degrees, begin frying the raised doughnuts in batches of 2 or 3 at a time. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side until golden brown, then use tongs or long metal skewers to turn the doughnuts and fry on the second side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
Use a skimmer or skewer to transfer one doughnut at a time to the bowl of cinnamon sugar; immediately turn as needed to coat evenly on all sides. Transfer to the wire rack and repeat with the remaining raised doughnuts and any leftover scraps of risen dough.

Tips:

For the best results, use fresh apple cider. If you don't have apple cider on hand, you can substitute apple juice, but the rolls won't have as much apple flavor.
If you don't have active dry yeast, you can use instant yeast. Just omit the step where you let the yeast proof in the warm water and add it directly to the flour mixture.
If you don't have a stand mixer, you can mix the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
The rolls are best when fresh out of the oven, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also freeze the rolls for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw the rolls overnight in the refrigerator and then warm them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.

Conclusion:

These apple cider yeast rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and fluffy, with a slightly sweet taste that is complemented by the warm spices. Whether you serve them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these rolls are sure to be a hit.
