Week end is here that means I have a lot of time to be busy in my kitchen. Recently, I saw a lot of donuts wandering around my Instagram's timeline that made me drooling and want to make them. I have never made donuts before so this is my first time making donuts. Glad that it turned very well.

I made this on Saturday noon and I made a lot of donuts!!! It's impossible for me and my partner to devour all donuts. So, I was thinking to share with the kids who would knock my door in the evening for the Halloween party. There's a primary school not far from my house and I received a leaflet stating that they will have a Halloween party at school and the kids will go around the neighborhood to do some Trick or Treat. If we want to participate, we should stick the leaflet in front of the door so they wont disturb those who dont want to participate.

Besides donuts, I already bought some organic fruit gelée that look like candy to be given out to the kids. Unfortunately, they were out a bit late from school and I had to go to work. My partner was home but he said he didn't want to give them out to the kids. He didn't want to deal with them. He said he can handle one or two but not a group of kids. So sad that I finally couldn't share those sweet things with the kids. And the donuts? Well, glad that today there's family gathering so I can bring them for this occasion.

Whole Wheat Potato Donuts

Yield: 24 donuts

Ingredients

• 400 gr all purpose flour
• 100 gr whole wheat flour
• 50 gr milk powder
• 100 gr powdered sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 200 gr potato, steamed and mashed until smooth
• 4 egg yolks
• 80 ml milk
• 75 gr unsalted butter at room temperature
• 11 gr dry yeast (1 sachet of yeast)
• 20 ml lukewarm water
• frying oil

Directions

• In a small bowl, mix the yeast with lukewarm water. Let stand for about 5-10 minutes.
• In a bowl of a stand mixer, whisk the flours, milk powder, powdered sugar and salt until combined.
• Place the bowl in a stand mixer fitted with hook attachment, mix in mashed potato and egg yolks until well combined.
• Add in the yeast. Mix again.
• Add in the milk gradually, until you reach good consistency. The dough should not be sticky nor too dry. You dont have to pour all the milk.
• Mix in the butter and mix until the dough becomes elastic.
• Divide the dough into small balls, 50 gr each, and shape them into donuts or any shape you want.
• Let it rest for about one hour or until double in size.
• Once risen, heat generous amount of frying oil over small medium heat. Fry the donuts until golden brown.
• Let it cool before decorating.

Chocolate Ganache

This ganache is enough to decorate the whole batch of donuts.

Ingredients

• 160 ml coconut milk or heavy cream, I used coconut milk because I dont have heavy cream on hand.
• 170 gr dark chocolate, I used 72% cacao.

Directions

• Place the chocolate in a heat-safe bowl, set aside.
• Pour the coconut milk or heavy cream in saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. You can do it in a microwave as well. Once the cream comes to boil, remove from the heat and pour it over the chocolate. Let stand for 30 seconds then mix it well.

You may top the donuts with anything that you like. I topped mine with chocolate sprinkles and roasted sliced almonds.
