1. Can I bake chocolate glazed donuts instead of frying them?

Yes, you can! While frying is traditional and gives the donuts a light, airy texture, you can also bake them. To bake, simply shape the donuts, place them on a baking sheet, and bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep in mind that baked donuts will have a denser, cake-like texture compared to fried ones.

2. How can I make the chocolate glaze thicker?

If you prefer a thicker glaze, simply reduce the amount of coconut oil or vegetable oil in the chocolate glaze recipe. You can also melt the chocolate in a bowl over low heat and stir until smooth and glossy without adding oil. This will result in a thicker, richer glaze.

3. Can I make chocolate glazed donuts ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare these donuts in advance. Once fried and glazed, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to make the dough ahead of time, you can refrigerate it overnight and fry the donuts the next day. For the freshest texture, it’s best to glaze them just before serving.

Instructions

Activate the yeast by combining water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes until it becomes bubbly.
Mix eggs, salt, and flour into the activated yeast mixture and stir to form a rough dough.
Add butter in small cubes and knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth.
Proof the dough in a warm spot, covering it with a damp towel for 20-30 minutes until it doubles in size.
Roll the dough onto a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out the donut shapes using a biscuit cutter, and a smaller cutter for the hole.
Let the donuts proof for another 20 minutes on a baking tray.
Heat the oil to 356°F (180°C) and fry the donuts in small batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Prepare the chocolate glaze by melting chocolate and coconut oil together. Stir until smooth.
Dunk each donut into the glaze, coating it evenly, and set aside to cool.

Notes

If you’re using all-purpose flour, the donuts may be slightly denser than if you use ’00’ flour.
Ensure the oil temperature is at 356°F (180°C) for the perfect crispy golden-brown exterior.
For a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of coconut oil in the chocolate mixture.
