Find out how to make perfect doughnuts at home and which of our nut creams are best as fillings!
How to make homemade doughnuts?
Before we move on to the filling, it's important to ensure the dough is fluffy and tender. Here's a simple recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
500 g flour type 550
7 egg yolks
25 g fresh yeast
230 ml of milk
75 g of sugar
80 g butter
2 tablespoons of vinegar
1 liter of rapeseed oil for frying
Good Noot's Favorite Nut Spreads
Preparation method:
1. Prepare the starter. Use yeast, a tablespoon of flour, about 30 ml of milk, and set aside for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until fluffy – this will make the doughnuts as soft as a cloud.
3. Next, combine the flour, starter, milk, vinegar (it will evaporate during frying), and the fluffy egg yolk-sugar mixture in a bowl. Knead the dough until combined, then add the butter and knead again for another 10 minutes. The dough will be quite sticky, but do not add any more flour, as this will toughen the doughnuts. Set aside to rise in a warm place for about 2 hours – cover the bowl to prevent the dough from drying out while rising.
4. Once the dough has risen, place it on the counter, knead it for a while, then roll it out to a thickness of approximately 1.5-2 cm and cut out your preferred shapes.
5. Cover and let the cut doughnuts rise for about 45 minutes. This makes 16 medium-sized doughnuts.
6. Fry in hot oil at 170-180 degrees, then the donuts will not burn on the outside and you will be sure that they are perfect inside.
Now it's time for the best part – the filling!
7. Fill the cooled doughnuts with your favorite Good Noot creams. We filled ours with Pistachio, Choconoot®️, and Hazelnoot Crunchy creams. You can also combine Good Noot creams with mascarpone or ricotta. And if you're looking for a fruity twist, fill the doughnuts with hazelnut cream and add raspberry, rosehip, strawberry, or other jam.
Good Noot's Best Nut Spreads for Donuts
Instead of traditional fillings, choose Good Noot creams – full of nutty flavor and perfectly creamy or surprisingly crunchy (like Almond Crunchy and Hazelnoot Crunchy).
Here are our TOP 3 suggestions:
1. Donuts with pistachio cream
Love the luxurious taste of pistachios? Our Pistachio Good Noot is the perfect choice! Its velvety texture makes it a perfect addition to delicate doughnut batter.
The Pistachio pistachio cream will also delight those looking for vegan doughnut fillings on Tłusty Czwartek and beyond. Consider this suggestion if you're looking for a vegan doughnut recipe. This pistachio cream is also available in a sugar-free version.
Now it's a hit! You can use Pistachio pistachio cream to make the viral Dubai doughnut. If you don't have a long enough filling tip, fill the doughnuts with crispy kadaifi dough mixed with pistachio cream just before frying, while shaping the doughnuts. But be careful: the filling may become harder as it cools.
2. Hazelnut Crunchy Donuts with Hazelnut Cream
Love the taste of hazelnuts? Choose the crunchy hazelnut spread with pieces of these nuts , Hazelnoot Crunchy . This great alternative to popular doughnuts – a fluffy doughnut filled with an intensely nutty filling and hazelnut pieces – will surprise many doughnut lovers.
3. Choconoot® Donuts with Hazelnut and Cocoa Cream
Year after year, more and more people are reaching for chocolate-filled doughnuts. This doughnut filling doesn't seem like anything groundbreaking until you add that our Choconoot® spread is unlike any other.
What sets Choconoot® apart from other hazelnut and cocoa spreads available? It has a wonderful, velvety consistency and a deep flavor, because we roast and grind the nuts ourselves. And above all, like all our spreads , it's free from palm oil, artificial additives, and preservatives, and is available in a sugar-free version.
How to fill doughnuts with cream?
1. Transfer the cream to a pastry bag with a long tip (for Hazelnut Crunchy cream you need a wider tip).
2. Prick the doughnut on the side and gently fill it with the filling.
3. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or cover with icing – ready!
