directions

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
  • Add 3 cups flour, applesauce, and next 6 ingredients; beat at low speed of an electric mixer until moistened.
  • Beat at medium speed for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Stir in 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a soft dough.
  • Turn out onto a well-floured surface.
  • Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes); add enough remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
  • Place dough in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
  • Punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness; cut with a lightly floured 2 1/2 inch doughnut cutter.
  • Combine doughnut holes and any remaining scraps of dough; reroll to 1/2 inch thickness and cut as before.
  • Place doughnuts on baking sheets coated with cooking spray; brush 2 tablespoons melted margarine over doughnuts.
  • Let rise, uncovered, in a warm, draft-free place for 40 minutes.
  • Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon in a large zip-top heavy-duty plastic bag and set aside.
  • Bake doughnuts at 425°F for 8 minutes or until golden.
  • Immediately brush remaining 2 tablespoons melted margarine over baked doughnuts; add doughnuts to plastic bag.
  • Seal the bag and shake to coat.

Hey there! I am the wife of my dh, Steve, to whom I've been married a very short 12yrs. I am also the SAHM of three boys (11yo and 4yo at home, 23yo on his own). My middle insists that you know he is #57 in the picture, the first player facing you. LOL I graduated from Ball State University with a BS in Pre-Professional Psychology, which I get use of here at home frequently. I enjoy entering local bakeoffs and contests, creating handmade cards and am active in my local MOPS group. I have a extensive collection of cookbooks, but have found that Zaar has taken care of my appetite for any hands on cookbooks. I just love to bake, especially for the high school football team here during the fall. It is my favorite time of the year......sweaters, bonfires, leaves, pumpkins, caramel apples, football, all the stuff about fall is fun! Thanks for checking out my "about me" page and I look forward to seeing you around on the boards. <a href="http://www.amazingcounter.com"><img border="0" src="http://cb.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=2022779&c=6068650" alt="web site hit tracking"></a><a href="http://www.4officecoupons.com/staples-coupons.html">Staples Office</a> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Animation1.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/FFF/completedbanner.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
