This will include mixing the dry and wet ingredients together and achieving the perfect gluten consistency for the softest doughnuts. Is it too dry? Is it too wet? When do we stop mixing? We will master the art of the dough. 2. Proof the dough correctly. Proofing is a challenge if you are unaware of how the dough should behave. We will adequately understand the room temperature and practice proofing by eye rather than time. 3. Fry the dough—This is one of the most important steps in achieving a cooked-through, light, fluffy, and structured doughnut. Understanding the correct oil, temperatures, methods, and fry time will be crucial in developing the best doughnuts. 4. Custard creation. Creating the best custard fillings by starting with the classics. Vanilla bean and chocolate lovers. Other fillings, such as fruit curds and existing spreads, will also be explored. 5. Glazing.

Extra toppings will be experimented with to enhance the taste and aesthetic. I invite you to participate in the forum and interact by commenting on the community's work.
