Donas recipe

Sometimes it is difficult to find a good recipe for donuts or donas. Today our chef Hans Ovando wants to share with you some of his emblematic recipes that he always makes in his pastry courses around the world.

Hans Ovando started in the world of dough at the age of 9 when he was a child, when he used to bake this donas recipe with his mother and brothers to sell them to the neighbours in the neighbourhood.

Over time, Hans made this donas recipe more and more his own, which came from a recipe book of his grandmother’s that he had given to his mother.

This donas recipe marked a before and after in Hans Ovando’s life, making the sale of donas perhaps Hans Ovando’s first business at a difficult time for his family.

Today our chef wants to give away one of his most precious treasures, so let’s get to work:

Preparation

Knead flour, yeast, cold milk, salt, egg, honey, vanilla, lemon and orange zest. Work the dough for 5 minutes.

Add the sugar little by little and continue kneading the dough.

Add the butter little by little until it is completely incorporated.

Form the dough or roll it out and put it in the fridge for one hour.

After one hour, roll out with a rolling pin between a silpat or silicone mats or baking paper to a thickness of 1.5 – 2 cm and freeze.

Cut the pieces and leave to ferment on individual baking papers.

Fry in sunflower oil at 165 ºC.

Prepare the sugar glaze and glaze them.

Bake in the oven at 160 ºC for about 10 seconds to dry the glaze completely.

Enjoy them with friends and family!

We hope that with this donas recipe we have awakened your interest in this spectacular dough.
