What is yeast – instant yeast? Where to buy yeast?
- Yeast and instant yeast are dry, fine-grained, brown yeast.
- In terms of properties: yeast needs to be activated with warm water at 32 – 38 degrees Celsius before it can be used. However, for instant yeast, you do not need to activate it and can mix it directly with the flour.
- Additionally, instant yeast has quite a lot more gas than regular yeast, so it can help the dough rise 50% faster, shortening the dough proofing time.
- You can buy this type of yeast at baking ingredient stores, large supermarkets, or on e-commerce websites.

How to make Mini Donuts
-
Mix and prepare the batter
Add 50ml of sweetened fresh milk, 30gr of sugar, and 2gr of instant yeast into a bowl. Stir well until the mixture is combined and let it sit for 5 minutes for the yeast to activate.
Next, add 100gr of all-purpose flour, a little salt, and 1 egg together with the milk-yeast mixture into the bowl, using a whisk to mix until the dough comes together.
Then, add 20gr of softened unsalted butter and knead the dough by hand until it forms a smooth and elastic ball.
-
Rolling and Shaping the Dough
Place the dough block on a sheet of parchment paper, use a rolling pin or a glass/bottle to roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/3 of a small finger.
Next, use a bottle cap to cut the dough, then use a small straw to create a shape in the center of the cut dough piece.
Finally, cover the shaped dough with a cloth and let it rise for 30 minutes.
-
Frying the Donuts
Heat 150ml of cooking oil in a pot or deep pan over high heat until it boils.
When the oil is boiling vigorously, reduce to medium heat, then drop the donuts in to fry, turning them regularly over medium heat until the outer layer puffs up and turns golden brown.
Next, remove the donuts and place them in a basket lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
-
Decoration
Put dark chocolate and green tea chocolate into a piping bag, then immerse this chocolate in a cup of hot water to melt it.
Next, spread a little chocolate on the surface of the cake and sprinkle a little colored rice flakes on top to finish.
Tip: If you do not use chocolate and colored rice flakes for decoration, you can cover the cake with a layer of powdered sugar or glaze it with syrup.
