Hi guys I need some advice. I have been making a donut recipe that is so fluffy and delicious, but I’ve been having some trouble while cutting them.
I’ve been using this recipe:
280 gr of All Purpose Flour
- 40 gr Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 egg
- 120 gr Whole Milk ( 1/2 cup ) ( Every flour absorbs liquids differently, so you may need an extra 2-3 tbsp of milk)
- 40 gr melted Butter
- 7 gr Dry Yeast
I combine all the ingredients,( first the dry then the wet ) I knead the dough for about 5-7m and let it rest in the microwave or the oven (I don’t turn the oven or microwave on!!!) for about 2h or when I see that the dough doubled its size. After resting I flip the dough on a floured countertop and I press down the dough (gently) and I roll the dough (the dough always starts to shrinks when I’m rolling the dough too) so I cut cut up mini donuts using a cookie cutter, as soon as I press the cookie cutter on my dough it immediately starts to shrink, like it shrinks a lot. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and I would like some advice please.
