Frequently Asked Questions
Typically cake donut recipes use baking powder and/or baking soda to get a little rise. Yeast recipes for donuts, which typically make more pillowy and fluffy donuts (think Krispy Kreme), do require yeast.
Fried donuts can be tasty, but they can be greasy and take a lot of oil to make. Homemade baked donuts are full of flavor without as much fat. This can let the flavor of simple ingredients really shine through.
For best results, most recipes recommend all purpose flour. But you can use whole wheat flour, gluten-free flour, or other flour mixtures with a little experimentation to make sure you have the right amount of moi
For baked donuts that are not filled with cream, you can put them in a sealed plastic bag or airtight container and leave them out at room temperature for 1 to 2 days. Cream-filled donuts must be stored in the refrigerator.
Top Tips
Be sure to measure your flour properly. Many people scoop flour out of the bag with a measuring cup when mixing the dry ingredients. Your recipe can end up with too much flour this way. Instead, scoop the flour into the measuring cup using a spoon.
While you can use a donut pan, donut cutter, or donut maker, you don’t need special donut baking pans or other equipment to bake donuts. Using parchment paper to keep them from sticking to the baking sheet, and a wire rack for cooling, can be helpful, however.
Baked donuts can cook quicker than other baked goods, and oven times can vary depending on each recipe. Keep an eye on the donuts while cooking them to avoid having them get too browned.
If your donuts feel a little hard or stale after a day or two, you can freshen them up by microwaving them for 15 seconds at a time until soft. Even better, you now have delicious warm doughnut to enjoy!
