Ingredients

Dough

2 teaspoons active dry yeast

1⁄4 cup warm water

3 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling

1 teaspoon salt

1⁄4 cup unsalted butter melted

3 eggs

1⁄3 cup sugar

Canola oil, for frying

White glaze

1⁄2 cup icing sugar, sifted

2 tablespoons water

Chocolate glaze

4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted (tempered)

For white glaze, stir together icing sugar and water in small bowl; set aside.

For dough, sprinkle yeast into warm water; let rest for 5 minutes.

Using electric mixer with dough hook, combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, butter, eggs, and sugar. Allow dough to mix at medium speed for about 10 minutes. Transfer to large bowl and cover with plastic wrap; set in warm place to rise until doubled, 1 1⁄2 to 2 hours. On lightly floured surface, roll dough into 1⁄2 -inch-thick square. Cut dough into rounds with 3 -inch cutter; cut smaller hole in centre. Place donuts on lightly floured baking sheet. Cover with clean cloth and let rise 30 minutes.

Heat oil in large skillet over high heat. Fry donuts in batches for 1 minute per side, or until puffed and golden. Drain on paper towels. Dip donuts into glaze, turning to coat, place on rack set over baking sheet. Let stand 30 minutes, or until set. Makes 12.

To name a few, Creative Director, Segun Olude; Art Director, Shannon Dewy; Prop Stylist, Kari Wardrop, Recipe Developer & Food Stylist, Marisa Curatolo; Copywriters Tara Kaprowy and Erin Lancione, and many friends, sponsors and advertisers. As the brand transitioned into the digital world, many more were involved. Thank you to all of them.
