Among cooking enthusiasts, donuts are a bit of a prestige item - the best ones are considered to be the ones that actually only have a crispy crust, with almost no dough inside. They say they are Gaga's donuts, as they called them on the Instagram page ljubavihrana.rs where we found the recipe for the most beautiful and delicious hollow doughnuts.

ingredients:

  • 700 g of flour + 50 g for sprinkling + 50 g for the end of mixing
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 spoons of sugar
  • 40 g of fresh yeast
  • 2 eggs
  • 400 ml of milk
  • 50 ml of oil
  • oil (for frying)

<strong>Preparation: </strong>

Add crushed yeast and sugar to the warm milk, then mix. Add half a measure of flour to it and combine everything. Then add eggs, salt and oil. Mix again. Add the rest of the flour, then beat with a spoon and add 50 g of flour.

The dough will be soft and stick to your hands, but that's how it should be. Shape it with a spoon, sprinkle it with a little flour, then cover it with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes until the dough doubles in size.

Flour the table, then shake out the dough. It will still be sticky, but when you mix it with a little flour - it won't be anymore.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to about 1 cm. Cut out circles with a glass, mix the remaining parts of the dough, roll out with a rolling pin and cut out circles again with a glass. Put the prepared donuts in a pan or on a tray and let them rest for another 15-20 minutes before frying.

Heat the oil and fry the donuts on both sides until they are lightly browned. To make the donuts hollow, place the side that was down on the tray so that it is now up.

You can sprinkle the finished donuts with powdered sugar.
