My oldest loves his pastries and baked goods and so I was not at all surprised when he woke up one day and requested that we make donuts, they’re his favorites. So off I went searching for moulds and all the needed ingredients.
I spent a lot of time searching for the right recipe for me because there are hundreds. Some with yeast, some without, some fried, some vegan. Ultimately I settled on this recipe from delish.com
This is a baked donut recipe without yeast, so you can relax. I too was really nervous about working with yeast. I wanted to achieve that light and airy texture for a doughnut, but quite frankly, I didn’t have that type of time on my hands. Don’t get me wrong—this isn’t straightforward either (at least for me, I’m not a baker).
Anyway, the recipe calls for sour cream, which I did not have. However, I did have plain greek yogurt which is a 1:1 substitute for most things.
