Midnight is my hour to make bread. There is something relaxing about the smell of yeast to me. It's quiet and it's just me and the dough. After watching Throwdown with Bobby Flay, I could not get my mind off of making doughnuts. So off to the internet to scourer possible recipes. I found this recipe by Alton Brown: Yeast Doughnuts.
This recipe is one that needs to be practiced to perfection. I did not end up with light and fluffly doughnuts, but rather thick and heavy doughnuts with some substance to them. I topped them with a chocolate pecan glaze, which was probably my favorite part. My friends seemed to enjoy them, but again, this is a recipe I would have to make a few more times to get the hang of all the little quirks that come with frying dough.
