This week, we decided to mix it up a little. Rather than just craft one dish, we baked two. We started with the most difficult portion of our task– making the gourmet donuts. After this, we baked the bread. We also began to look for potential places to set up our end-of-project bake sale. We are leaning towards setting up at a local farmer’s market. To bake the donuts, we started by preparing the dough. Before we could make the dough, we needed to warm milk in the microwave then add yeast to it, and let it sit for 10 minutes to wake it up. While that was resting, we combined all of our dry ingredients: sugar, brown sugar, salt, and all-purpose flour. In a separate bowl, we cracked and whisked the eggs together. Additionally, we melted butter. Once all three wet components were prepared, we added them to the dry mixture and mixed until a dough formed. Once the dough was formed, it was time to knead the dough on the countertop until it was smooth. From there, we placed the dough into a greased bowl and let it rise for one hour. After it was done rising, we placed the dough on a lightly floured surface, rolled it out, and cut as many donuts as we could. Once the individual donuts were cut out, we let them rise for another 45 minutes. While the donuts were rising, we preheated the frying oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. As soon as the donuts were rested and the oil was heated, we fried each side of the donuts for 3 minutes then let cool on a wire rack. While the donuts were cooling, we made the icing. We mixed together powdered sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and water. When the icing was prepared, we dipped the donuts in the icing fully and they were ready to be eaten.
