Donut

Uses: Traditionally enjoyed in the mornings with coffee, but donuts can be enjoyed at any time of day.
Tips: Refrigerating the dough allows for easier handling and a slow proof allows for a more flavours to develop.
What is the best cocoa powder? Rouge Ultime & Noir Intense
Why? The dough is leavened and made airy thanks to the yeast in the dough. As the yeast ferments, it eats sugar in the dough and transforms it into water and gas, carbon dioxide. That cabon dioxide gets trappend intside the dough, causing it to puff up.
