After some time the chocolate will harden. So just before serving microwave doughnut for 5-7 seconds to warm and melt the chocolate. I have used dark chocolate to glaze the doughnut. You can use either milk or white chocolate as per your choice.  Also you can top the doughnut with various ingredients such as chocolate shavings, chocolate vermicelli, pipe the melted chocolate, strawberry slices, sliced almonds or any other toppings of your choice.

      Thank you for going through the recipe. Wheat flour absorbs more water than all purpose flour and hence you will need to add more water to knead the dough approximately 1/4 cup more than the mentioned amount. The dough should be smooth to get soft doughnuts.

      Thank you for going through the recipe and visiting pepkitchen. I have made donuts using 50:50 ratio of whole wheat flour and maida. You can make donuts using 100% whole wheat. They will be little dense in texture. I prefer adding some maida to the recipe as it makes the donuts light in texture.

    Not sure what went wrong, but the donuts did not rise at all the second time. Ended up with a really dense unappealing mass of cooked dough 🙁 I used WWF and followed everything to the T.

      Thank you for trying out the recipe. The recipe uses half of wwf and half of all purpose flour. If you are using 100% wwf in the recipe then the water level need to be adjusted to knead into soft dough. Also did the dough rise for 1st time? what type of yeast did you use? Did yeast rise well and activated well? If the dough had rise for 1st time it will rise for second time too. Just check with the shelf life of the yeast. If it is old yeast it is not recommended for baking as it will not give a good rise. With the same recipe I am making bread, pav, pizza scroll and till now did not face any problem. All the best and happy cooking!!
