How to make baked donuts in the oven

  • Crumble the yeast, add a teaspoon of sugar, and pour in about 200 ml of lukewarm milk – mix thoroughly – cover with a cloth and set aside in a warm place for about 20 minutes – so that the yeast starts to work.
    15 g yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 200-240 ml milk
  • In a large bowl, place the flour, egg, melted and cooled butter, and sugar.
    375 g wheat flour, 1 egg, 50 g sugar, 30 g butter
  • Add the yeast starter and knead the dough – if it’s too thick, add more milk.
  • Cover the bowl with the dough with a cloth and set aside in a warm place for about an hour – for it to rise.
  • After rising, briefly knead the dough again, place it on a lightly floured surface, and roll it out to a thickness of about 1-1.5 cm.
  • Cut out donuts with a glass or a round cutter (my cutter had a diameter of 7 cm) and place the discs on a baking sheet (keep space between the donuts).
  • Knead the remaining dough again, roll it out, and cut out donuts – repeat until all the dough is used.
  • Cover the baking sheet with the donuts with a cloth and set aside in a warm place for about half an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (top-bottom mode), place the donuts, and bake for about 10-12 minutes – until a nice golden color.
  • After baking, remove from the oven.
  • Transfer the jam to a piping bag (or a bag with a long nozzle) – if the jam has large fruit pieces, it’s a good idea to blend it beforehand.
  • Make a small incision in the donuts with a narrow knife and fill with jam.
  • Finally, sprinkle the donuts with powdered sugar.
Uwagi
If you don’t have a way to fill the donuts after baking, you can bake them with the filling right away. Gently stretch a cut piece of dough in your hands, place a teaspoon of filling (preferably preserves) in the center, and then carefully seal the dough. Set the donuts aside to rise slightly, then bake them for about 15 minutes. After baking, let them cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
 
Enjoy!

How to make doughnuts in the oven?

Fat Thursday has its own rules, and on this day, it’s customary to eat at least one doughnut. But what about people who try to eat healthier, count calories, are on a diet, or simply don’t like deep-fried products? There’s something good for them too!

Make yourselves baked doughnuts!

They taste delicious and you can fill them with your favorite jam, preserve, or cream. One baked doughnut from my recipe has a little over 160 calories – that’s more than half less than a traditional doughnut! To make doughnuts, you first need to prepare yeast dough – similar to traditional doughnuts. Only instead of frying the doughnuts in deep fat, we will bake them in the oven.

At what temperature to bake doughnuts?

I recommend baking them in an oven preheated to 170 degrees Celsius and in convection mode.

What to bake doughnuts in? You don’t need any special molds to bake doughnuts. A large baking sheet from the oven lined with baking paper is enough.

How long to bake doughnuts in the oven?

Bake the doughnuts for about 10-12 minutes – until they are nicely browned. Every oven bakes a little differently, so adjust the baking time to your oven if necessary.

Should doughnuts be baked with filling?

I baked the dough itself and only filled them with preserve after baking. This prevented the filling from flowing out and softening the dough. So if you have a piping bag or a confectionery syringe at home that you can use to fill the doughnuts, then add the filling to the baked doughnuts. When to fill the doughnuts? We fill the doughnuts when they are still warm, but no longer hot.

Baked Doughnuts kcal

One such baked doughnut with preserve filling has about 160 calories – assuming you make 13 doughnuts from the recipe. If you make them larger, they will, of course, have more calories. I hope you enjoy these oven-baked doughnuts, and don’t worry if people get indignant that a baked doughnut isn’t a doughnut, but just a sweet bun ;) A doughnut is a doughnut, period!

I also invite you to try baked chrusciki, or baked oponki :D

And if calories don’t scare you, check out my recipes for Fat Thursday, where you’ll also find doughnuts and chrusciki.
