Baked Donuts Recipe
Traditional and Bimby Recipe
Even in Italy, here are the famous American donuts, tasty and soft and sweet, but for a healthier lifestyle, we will bake them instead of frying like the originals.
No need for leavening, so they are quicker and easier to make, just need a 8-donut pan. I was helped by my niece.
Donuts are a symbol of American pastry, famous worldwide and made popular in Italy by the TV series Homer Simpson, perfect! with a very soft texture and a white or dark chocolate glaze.
Let’s prepare them the Italian way.

Baked Donuts Recipe
In a bowl, put the sugar and eggs, then whisk with an electric mixer for about 4/5 minutes until the mixture appears light and frothy.
Then add yogurt and oil and continue whisking until the mixture is well combined. At this point, add the baking powder and flour, reduce the speed of the whisk and mix until the flour is fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the buttered and floured donut pan, and bake in a preheated fan oven at 392°F for about 15 min
When the donuts are cooked, let them cool and then unmold.
Let’s make the glaze
Put the chocolate in a food processor and chop it,
Then transfer it to a small bowl and melt it in the microwave. If you choose to glaze white it is fine as is, otherwise, if you want colored glaze, add some coloring of choice.
Glaze the donuts by spreading a teaspoon of melted chocolate on the surface and sprinkle with colored sprinkles. Let dry and serve.
