I am attempting to make a donut that is crunchy on the outside and airy and lite on the inside with simple ingredients (yeast, flour, water, sugar.) I have tried different variations (+/- flour, +/- water, different oils) but no luck. What should I add or add more/less of to accomplish this?

  • You are frying in oil? – Willk Oct 17 '19 at 01:21

    You should edit your question to include a particular, precise recipe you tried which didn't give you the results you were looking for. Otherwise, there's no frame of reference to work from. – Sneftel Oct 17 '19 at 10:56

    crunchy...like crusty bread? ...or crispy...like a potato chip? Can you better describe the texture you are going for? – moscafj Oct 17 '19 at 12:29

    I was attempting to make a Greek donut I recently had on holiday when visiting Europe this past summer. I used 1tbsp instant yeast, 1cup flour, 3/4cup warm water, 1tsp sugar. Fried at 375degree. I am looking for a crunchy shell with an airy not doughy and chewing interior. – Starts Oct 17 '19 at 16:36
  • Are you trying to make these: https://www.mygreekdish.com/recipe/loukoumades/ ? – moscafj Oct 18 '19 at 19:05
  • Yes that is exactly what I am attempting to make – Starts Oct 18 '19 at 23:49
  • However the recipe I have does not include milk and I’d like to avoid it. I guess my question really is; what adjustments to the ingredients I am using would make them airy inside and crunchy outside? – Starts Oct 19 '19 at 23:33
  • If I increase the amount of yeast will that give me the Airy, light interior? – Starts Oct 28 '19 at 18:15
