🍩✨ Homemade Brioche Donuts with Sugar Coating

Light as air, rich with butter, and rolled in sugar bliss — these homemade brioche donuts are pure bakery-style comfort made at home.

🧺 Ingredients (Makes 10–12 donuts)

Brioche Dough

• All-purpose flour – 2½ cups

• Instant yeast – 2 tsp

• Sugar – ¼ cup

• Salt – ½ tsp

• Eggs – 2 large, room temperature

• Milk – ½ cup, warm (not hot)

• Unsalted butter – 6 tbsp, very soft

• Vanilla essence – 1 tsp (optional)

For Frying

• Neutral oil – as needed

Sugar Coating

• Fine caster sugar – ½ cup

• (Optional) Cinnamon – ½ tsp

👩‍🍳 Method

1️⃣ Make the Dough

In a bowl, mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add eggs, warm milk, and vanilla. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

2️⃣ Knead in the Butter (Key Step)

Add butter one tablespoon at a time, kneading well after each addition. Knead for 10–12 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, glossy, and slightly sticky.
This creates the pillowy brioche texture.

3️⃣ First Rise

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1½–2 hours until doubled.

4️⃣ Shape the Donuts

Roll dough to ½-inch thickness. Cut donuts with a cutter or glass. Place on parchment, cover lightly, and rest 30–40 minutes for a second rise.

5️⃣ Fry to Golden Perfection

Heat oil to 160–170°C (medium). Fry donuts in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until evenly golden. Remove to paper towels.

6️⃣ Sugar Coat

While still warm, roll donuts in sugar (or cinnamon sugar) until evenly coated.

🍽️ Serve & Enjoy

Best enjoyed warm with coffee or tea ☕. Soft inside, golden outside, and delicately sweet with every bite.

💡 Pro Tips

• Don’t add extra flour—soft dough = soft donuts.

• Keep oil at medium heat for even cooking.

• Sugar sticks best while donuts are warm.

Result: light 🍩, buttery 💛, irresistibly soft — homemade brioche donuts done right.🤗❤🍩
