This is my adopted recipe and I have attempted to work out the kinks. I will be trying these out myself and posting the results. Thanks!! Ingredients:
2 (1/4 ounce) packets dry yeast |
1/4 cup warm water (105-115 degrees) |
5 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided |
1 1/4 cups unsweetened applesauce |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1/3 cup margarine |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup margarine, melted and divided |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
2. Add 3 cups flour, applesauce, and next 6 ingredients; beat at low speed of an electric mixer until moistened.
3. Beat at medium speed for an additional 2 minutes.
4. Stir in 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a soft dough.
5. Turn out onto a well-floured surface.
6. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes); add enough remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
7. Place dough in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top.
8. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
9. Punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
10. Roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness; cut with a lightly floured 2 1/2 inch doughnut cutter.
11. Combine doughnut holes and any remaining scraps of dough; reroll to 1/2 inch thickness and cut as before.
12. Place doughnuts on baking sheets coated with cooking spray; brush 2 tablespoons melted margarine over doughnuts.
13. Let rise, uncovered, in a warm, draft-free place for 40 minutes.
14. Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon in a large zip-top heavy-duty plastic bag and set aside.
15. Bake doughnuts at 425°F for 8 minutes or until golden.
16. Immediately brush remaining 2 tablespoons melted margarine over baked doughnuts; add doughnuts to plastic bag.
17. Seal the bag and shake to coat.
