Rocky Road Doughnuts- chocolate yeast doughnuts w/marshmallow cream filling, chocolate glaze, and roasted peanut topping.

With national doughnut day right around the corner I wanted to come up with something super fun! An awesome doughnut that would be worthy of using to celebrate National Doughnut Day. I realized Rocky Road day was June 2 and thought to myself, well, why not a Rocky Road Doughnut. This is where I came up with the concept of the new Recipe. I don’t like cake doughnuts, yeasted doughnuts are real doughnuts to me. So I developed a chocolate yeasted doughnut recipe as the base component, then a marshmallow cream filling, milk chocolate glaze, and chopped roasted peanut topping! These are a great combination. The chocolate doughnut isn’t too sweet, the Marshmallow cream is smooth and wonderful. Meanwhile the salty, roasty peanuts embedded in the chocolate glaze compliment all the flavors here and tie them together. Bring these into the office! your co-workers will be dying for more.

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 11 oz bread flour
  • 11 oz All-Purpouse flour
  • 2 oz dutch processed cocoa powder

Add the remaining flour, combining on low speed at first, and then increase the speed to medium and beat well. Add butter a Tbsp at a time until incorporated into dough.
  3. Change to the dough hook attachment of the mixer and beat on medium speed until the dough pulls away from the bowl and becomes smooth, approximately about 5 minutes. Transfer to a well-oiled sheet pan (cookie sheet) and press out to edge of sheet pan (wet your hand to avoid sticking. cover withoiled plastic wrap, Let rise inrefrigerator overnight.

  6. Gently place the doughnuts into the oil, 3 to 4 at a time. Cook for 1 minute per side, using a slotted spoon to flip (be sure it is heat resistant, otherwise you’ll end up with a hunk of melted plastic).

  8. Allow to cool for 15 to 20 minutes prior to glazing and filling.
  9. Poke hole in the side each doughnut with the tip of marshmallow piping bag and Fill with prepared Marshmallowcream. Watch the top of the doughnut while filling, to make sure you don’t overfill and pop open the top or bottom.

Marshmallow Cream Recipe

makes 2 1/2 cupsIngredients:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/3 cup water
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. Stir together the sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt in a medium, heavy bottomed, saucepan over high heat.
  2. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 240°F on a candy/fat thermometer. Read next step to prepare meringue while you wait.
  3. While the sugar is boiling: Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Begin whipping the egg whites to soft peaks on medium speed. (you want the egg whites whipped and ready, so when the suer syrup comes to 250 degrees F you can immediately drizzle it in. If they’re whipping up faster than your syrup is coming to temperature, just stop the mixer at soft peaks until the syrup is to temp.)
  4. When the syrup reaches 240°F, reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly pour about 3 tablespoons of syrup into the egg whites to warm them Slowly pour in the rest of the syrup, between the bowl and the whip. Increase the speed to medium high and whip until the marshmallow crème is stiff and glossy, about 6 minutes.
  5. Add in the vanilla and whip 1 minute more.
  6. Fill a piping bag , fitted with a large round tip, with the prepared cream. Fill doughnuts when they are cooled, otherwise your marshmallow cream will melt out.

Chocolate Glaze Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 5 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted

Directions:

  1. Combine butter, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 1 min, or until butter is melted.
  2. Add the chopped milk chocolate, and whisk until melted. If having trouble completely melting chocolate you can microwave in 5 sec intervals to aid the melting.
  3. Add the sifted powdered sugar, and whisk until smooth.
  4. Glaze doughnuts immediately. If the glaze sets up or becomes too thick, you can microwave for 5-10 seconds to soften/thin it so you can finish glazing your glorious doughnuts.

FAQs

What makes a donut dense? ›

When the chemical leaveners baking powder and baking soda produce carbon dioxide, the batter is only able to trap some of the gas, which it does in small bubbles throughout the doughnut. All of this makes cake doughnuts denser than yeasted doughnuts.

What makes a donut good? ›

Sugar: Sugar sweetens the doughnuts, but it also feeds the yeast, increases its activity, and tenderizes the dough. Eggs: Eggs provide structure and flavor. Butter: Melted butter promises enhanced flavor. Salt & Vanilla Extract: Both add flavor.

How does the jelly get in the donut? ›

Fill Doughnuts

Add your favorite jelly to the piping bag. When doughnuts are just cool enough to handle, gently pierce the side pushing your piping tip in. Squeeze for a few seconds then pull out the piping tip. Roll filled doughnut in finishing sugar.

What is the best flour to use for donuts? ›

Use real cake flour – not DIY cake flour!

DIY substitutions don't really cut it, and AP flour will not create doughnuts with that same soft texture. Also, bleached cake flour will work best. Unbleached (like King Arthur Baking) won't absorb as much moisture, and you may end up with doughnuts that crumble while frying.

What makes a doughnut fluffy? ›

To make light and fluffy donuts, make sure that your dough is properly risen by allowing it to rest in a warm place until it doubles in size. Also, avoid overmixing the dough as it can lead to a denser texture. Handling the dough gently and not overworking it will help maintain the desired fluffiness.

What makes donuts last longer? ›

The best way to store a yeast-based doughnut is in an airtight container or Ziplock bag. You can use aluminum foil, but it isn't as effective for preventing air from getting into the container.

What makes donut hard? ›

Frying at a too-low temperature.

Many fearful fryers set the oil temperature too low thinking that it will make frying more forgiving. Frying at too low a temperature will result in greasy doughnuts with a tough crust.

Why do Jews love jelly donuts? ›

Called sufganiyot in Hebrew, this confection is a Chanukah treat throughout the Jewish world. Deep-fried jelly doughnuts recall the oil that burned miraculously for eight days in the second-century BCE Temple in Jerusalem.

How do they put holes in donuts? ›

In truth, though, many donuts with holes don't actually have any dough cut out of them to make their shape. Instead, special machines spray dough into a fryer in a circular pattern. The donut holes you buy at the bakery or grocery store are usually made out of dough simply cut into small squares!

What is the jam in donuts? ›

"With its natural sweetness and no pips, apple sauce is widely used for its smooth and 'jammy' texture."

How to make donuts without a form? ›

All you need is a cupcake pan and some regular old tin foil! Cut the foil into a 4 x4 square and bend gently around your middle finger. Remove your finger and press the shape you're left with into the muffin tin. The results: You're left with a perfect donut hole shaped tin that yields you round baked donuts.

Why are my donuts not light and fluffy? ›

Underproofed – leads to stiffer (denser) donuts that don't puff up well when fried. Cracked donuts – this may have happened if you used a cutter and it wasn't sharp enough to cut through the dough cleanly. Or the dough is underproofed or too cold.

What are the denser donuts called? ›

Cake donuts are made with a cake-like batter that is fried until golden brown. These donuts are denser than yeast donuts and have a more moist, tender texture.

What is the secret for soft doughnuts? ›

There's only one way to make doughnuts even softer and fluffier and that is by scalding some of the flour. Scalding is a technique used to not only make bread softer, but also to make it stay soft for longer. You can use it for pretty much any recipe you like.

What makes my doughnut hard? ›

Frying at too low a temperature will result in greasy doughnuts with a tough crust. Try this: Watch the oil's temperature carefully as you fry and adjust the heat as needed to maintain a temperature between 350°F and 360°F.
