Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Donut Pastries

Why do ring donuts have a hole in the middle?
The center hole ensures that the dough cooks completely through without leaving the middle raw or undercooked. Before this technique was invented, bakers often placed nuts in the center to solve the problem of uneven cooking.
How is pastry icing made to stay smooth on top of donuts?
Pastry glaze is made by mixing powdered sugar with a small amount of liquid such as milk or water. As the glaze cools and sets over warm pastries, it forms a soft outer layer that holds its shape.
What gives fried dough its golden color?
Heat triggers the Maillard reaction between amino acids and natural sugars in the dough during frying or baking. This chemical reaction creates rich aromatic compounds along with a characteristic golden surface.
