adapted from: the king arthur flour baker s companion: the all-purpose baking cookbook ) italics mine..., makes about 16 round doughnuts plus doughnut holes, salt, nutmeg, sugar, instant yeast, unbleached all purpose flour, egg, milk, butter, melted, vanilla extract, vegetable oil or shortening (2 1/2 lbs), for frying (i used a smaller pot and used less oil), glaze:(i made my own glaze using less amounts since i also made a chocolate glaze as well...but you can just do plain ), milk, sugar, vanilla extract, chocolate glaze, whipping cream(heated to almost boiling), chocolate bar (or use chips about 1/2 cup), add more chocolate if the glaze is too thin, add hot whipping cream over chopped chocolate ...let sit until chocolate is melted and then stir., coconut , chopped nuts, powder sugar, sprinkles if you like, etc., whisk together the dry ingredients. in a separate bowl, combine the egg, milk, butter and vanilla and stir into the flour mixture, mixing until well combined., let the dough rest for 5 minutes, then knead for 6 to 8 minutes by hand or mixer until you have a smooth, soft dough. place the dough in a buttered bowl, turn it over to grease the top, and let it rise, covered, in a warm place for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until doubled in bulk., deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. gently roll the dough out to 1/4 inch(i would do them a quite a bit thicker next time) thickness and cut with a round cutter., cover loosely with greased plastic wrap (i didn tsp bother) and let rise again for about 1 hour(side note: i thought 1 hour was a bit too much...if you let the dough rise too much it will become too soft and in turn absorb too much oil...i would let it rise till almost doubled 20-30 minutes. this of course means that it is rising in a warm environment!), until doubled again., place oil or shortening in a heavy pan or deep skillet and heat to 350of.(this is were you need to get the temp. just right or it will burn the doughnuts if the oil is too hot.) place the doughnuts in the oil, two or three at a time, and fry until golden brown., turn over and cook the second side. this should be no more than a minute(or less...they brown very quickly) on each side. overcooking will make the doughnuts tough. drain on paper towels.to make the glaze, stir the milk into the confectioners sugar until it is smooth, then add the vanilla.when the doughnuts are cool enough to handle (but still warm), dip the tops of the doughnuts into the glaze, then place on a rack so the glaze will drip down.

directions here are for mixing the dough in a bread machine, but baking it in your oven. if you need different directions, just message me and i will send them to you. (am using my bread machine as kitchenaide is out of commission right now)., way i added more nutrition & flavor to this loaf was by soaking my grains overnight, then adding them to machine (original recipe does not call for added grains). using a 1 cup measuring cup, i filled it 3/4 of the way full with a mixture of brown rice flour, quinoa and barley flakes (looks like oatmeal)-i dumped that into a dish and added 1/2 cup of warm water, stirred it around, and let it sit (covered) overnight so that the grains could absorb the water. i ve been reading a lot about grain (and whole grain flour soaking) and so far, this seems to have served me well. you can use any combination of whole grains-this is just what i used. next day when i was ready to make bread, i did this, i set my machine on the dough (or manual) cycle and layered these ingredients in the bread machine in the following serving, warm water, molasses, sugar, kosher salt, lemon juice (bottled ok-it helps the yeast and helps crumb be less tender), oil, whole grain mix i created, rye flour, vital wheat gluten (flour), bread flour (i usually use just a speck over 2 & 1/2 cups), active dry yeast (yes, 6 tsp), also need, egg wash to brush on top (1 egg, beaten well with a pinch of salt and a tsp of water) & oat bran to sprinkle on top & make it pretty., once the ingredients are in , press start and let your machine run thru the dough cycle., once that s complete , remove dough divide it in half, shape it freeform (i just make a round loaf), place shaped loaves on parchment lined baking sheet. cover dough with plastic wrap and let it rise until almost double in size (about an hour in my kitchen). when dough nears the end of it s rising time, preheat the oven to 375o (i bake it at 365o, but i m a bit neurotic about bread)., once oven is heated , brush loaves with egg wash, dust them with oat bran, score/slash them about 1/4 deep and load them into oven., bake 375o for about 30-35 minutes until loaf sounds hollow when bottom is tapped (or for 38-40 minutes at 365o)., cool on wire rack .
