Things to remember before making Donut recipe

See that the yeast you use is active. Whenever you use a new pack of yeast check it by proofing. During this process the yeast eats on sugar and releases carbon dioxide making the liquid appears bubbly. This shows that the yeast is active and can be used for making the bread. (For proofing, in a bowl add 1/2 cup warm water. To this add 1 tsp of sugar and 1 tsp of dry active yeast. Give a stir. Cover and leave the mixture for 5 to 10 minutes. The mixture will become bubbly and form foam. This mixture is ready to use for making your bread.

The measurements should be correct especially for the flour and yeast. The water quantity mentioned in the recipe is perfect for this recipe but still to avoid any error remove 1 to 2 tbsp of water from the mentioned quantity and add it if required while kneading the dough. The consistency of the dough should not be too tight nor should it be too watery. It should be enough so that we can handle the dough.

Keep the dough for rising till it doubles in size. The time is always mentioned in the recipe but it always differs from place to place because of the weather of a particular place. Ideally a warm and damp place is suitable for the dough to rise quickly. So go according to the weather condition at your place, important thing to notice is that the dough should be double in size. Also don’t check the dough frequently.
