Doughnuts with a bread twist: Food influencers turn everyday morning staple to cafe-style treat

Who doesn’t love doughnuts? The sugary treat with its pillowy-soft dough and melt-in-the-mouth texture is simply irresistible, especially for sweet-tooths. Some like it plain, glazed with butter or cream, others want the delicacy to be coated with rich chocolate, while biting into the rainbow-filled sprinkles. Whether it’s a go-to breakfast option, a quick mid-work snack, or even something to enjoy during celebrations, doughnuts fit every occasion. But once the sugar rush kicks in, you are left wondering about all the unhealthy calories you have acquired. However, what if we told you that doughnuts can easily be made at home?

This doughnut preparation will have you drooling

Two food influencers, Belal and Abdul, recently shared a video on Instagram where the duo was seen preparing doughnuts with white bread. Yes, you read that right. First, a stack of bread was stacked one on top of the other, before the sides were sliced off. Next, they were added to a bowl and milk was poured. Once done, the concoction was mixed uniformly, creating a starchy dough, before it was transformed into several oval shapes. A tiny hole was pierced through the middle, turning the dough balls into the shape of doughnuts.

In the following step, the hollowed-out doughnuts were added to a pan and fried till golden-brown. Once done, they were dipped in thick and velvety chocolate sauce and arranged on a wooden board. That’s all. Your healthy and tasty home-cooked doughnuts are ready to be savoured. Plus, you can also say goodbye to that extra added sugar, harmful to your health.

Easy to make doughnuts at home

Bread doughnuts can easily be prepared at home and if you also wish to relish them, then popular culinary channel, Food Fusion, has got you covered with their detailed recipe. To make this lip-smacking item, the ingredients you need are:

10 slices of bread,

¼ Cup of milk

Cooking oil to fry

100 g of chopped chocolate

2 tablespoons of coconut oil

100g of white chocolate

Coloured sprinkles if required

In the first step, you have to trim the edges of bread slices and crumble them into a bowl. Add milk before mashing the mixture and kneading it with greased hands, turning it into a soft dough. Small 55g portions of the dough are then shaped into doughnuts and a chopstick is used to create the hole in the middle. Deep-fried them on a medium flame until golden and crisp, before allowing them to cool completely. Melt both the dark and white chocolate separately with coconut oil in a microwave and stir consistently until smooth. It is followed by dipping the doughnuts into the chocolatey wonder, dusting the sprinkles generously, and setting for 8–10 minutes, before serving.
