DONUT
STEP 1
Place the water, YRD Donut Mix and then yeast into a mixer fitted with a dough hook.
STEP 2
Mix on low speed for 1 minute. Scrape down.
STEP 3
Mix on high speed for 10-12 minutes or until dough reaches peak development.
STEP 4
Aim for finished dough temperature of 27-30°C.
STEP 5
Rest for 5 minutes before processing/sheeting.
STEP 6
Sheet out the dough to approximately 10mm thickness. Ensure to shake down the dough to reduce tension in the dough, relax the dough, as this will reduce shrinkage.
STEP 7
Cut donuts as required and place into proofer. Please note: the dough is soft and fairly sticky to touch.
STEP 8
We used a 9cm cutter and proofed for 23 minutes.
SHINY DARK CHOCOLATE GLAZE
STEP 1
Combine the water and the cream and bring to the boil.
STEP 2
Blend in cocoa powder and sugar then continue to heat, while stirring, until temperature reaches 106°C.
STEP 3
Remove from heat and pour over the chopped dark chocolate and mix until smooth.
STEP 4
Reserve mixture in fridge until required.
STEP 5
Warm desired quantity of chocolate glaze to body temperature of 37°C .
STEP 6
Dip the donut into the glaze by submerging 1/3 of the donut, then place on a tray with glazed side up.
STEP 7
Decorate top of glazed donut with broken up pieces of Mars Bar.
