Ingredients
- 240 grams Bread Flour
- 60 grams Glutinous Rice Flour
- 30 grams Sugar
- 4 grams Salt
- 140 grams Milk
- 8 grams Instant Dry Yeast
- 40 grams Egg (about one medium egg, beaten)
- 40 grams Butter (either Salted or Unsalted, softened)
- Topping: A few tablespoons of Sugar for coating
Step-by-step Directions
1. Preparing the Dry Ingredients
Sift 240 grams of bread flour and 60 grams of glutinous rice flour into a large mixing bowl. Make two depressions; add 30 grams of sugar into one and 4 grams of salt into the other. Gently re-cover the depressions with some flour from the sides.
2. Activating the Yeast
Warm the milk slightly until just warm to touch, not hot, and dissolve 8 grams of instant dry yeast into it. Whisk one egg separately and measure out 40 grams; add this to the milk mixture and integrate well.
3. Forming the Dough
Using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook (or by hand), gradually incorporate the milk mixture into the flour. Continue mixing until the dough begins to come together. Knead the mixture until it starts to form a slightly sticky, cohesive mass.
4. Kneading in the Butter
Add 40 grams of softened butter to the dough, mixing and kneading thoroughly until the dough absorbs the butter and appears smooth and faintly yellow. This should take about 8-10 minutes of kneading.
5. First Rising
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours in a warm, draught-free environment.
6. Shaping and Second Rising
Once risen, punch down the dough gently, divide into portions, and shape each into a smooth ball. Let them rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.
7. Frying and Coating
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the dough balls into the oil and fry until golden brown. Roll the hot doughnuts in sugar to coat evenly.
Servings & Preparation Time
Makes about 10 medium-sized doughnuts. Preparation time is approximately 2 hours, including rising times. Cooking time is about 10 minutes.
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- Store the doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in a microwave for a few seconds just before serving if desired.
Conclusion
The “Twisted Korean Delight Doughnuts” are a decadent treat that combines the elasticity of glutinous rice with the softness of bread dough to achieve a perfect, spongy texture. They are an excellent addition to any baker’s repertoire, promising to deliver pleasure in every bite. Whether you enjoy them freshly sugared or alongside your favorite cup of tea or coffee, these doughnuts offer a unique taste experience that blends international cuisine with sweet indulgence.
