Oven donuts do not pretend to be dietary, but they definitely have less calories than their counterparts fried in boiling oil. The recipe and step-by-step photo instructions will help you bring to life a light version of everyone's favorite treat.

Mix the sifted flour with a pinch of salt and dry yeast. Beat egg yolks with sugar until white, pour in a little butter and warmed milk. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients.

First, knead the dough with a food processor or a spatula for 2-3 minutes, then transfer it to a floured table and knead with your hands for another minute. The finished dough will turn out to be sticky and very soft - as it should be, do not continue to “hammer” it with additional flour. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and leave warm for an hour.

After the expiration of time, a mixture that has doubled in size will be waiting for us.

Sprinkle flour on the table again and roll out the dough that has come up to a centimeter thickness on it. Using a special shape or an ordinary glass, we cut out donuts from the layer. If you wish, you can make another smaller hole in the center of each donut, but if you intend to fill them in the future, then skip this step.

Gently transfer the donuts to a parchment-lined baking sheet and let rise warm for another 45 minutes. Bake at 180 degrees for 12 minutes.

Finished donuts can be covered with a layer of melted chocolate, filled with cream, jam, condensed milk, peanut butter, or covered with simple icing sugar from a mixture of a glass of powdered sugar with a couple of tablespoons of milk.

Recipe

Ingredients:

• flour - 230 g;
• a couple of egg yolks;
• a pinch of salt;
• vegetable oil - 45 ml;
• dry yeast - 7 g;
• milk - 160 ml.

Preparation

1. Combine 190 grams of flour with yeast and salt. Beat eggs separately with sugar, butter and warm milk.
2. Knead the dough in a bowl for a couple of minutes, and then put it on a table sprinkled with half the remaining flour and knead with your hands for another minute.
3. Let the dough rise in warmth for an hour, after which we roll it out, sprinkling it with the rest of the flour, into a layer of centimeter thickness.
4. Cut out the donuts, place them on a baking sheet and leave warm for another 45 minutes. We bake at 180 degrees for 12 minutes.
