Eggless Donuts / Doughnuts (baked)

Eggless Donuts

Doughnuts or Donuts is a sweet deep fry pastry and glaze with sugar and cinnamon syrup or in chocolate glaze

In earlier time Donuts were simple balls of cake fried in oil till golden brown .because the centre of the cake did not cook fast as the outside, so the cakes were sometimes stuffed with fruits, nuts or other filling. But Hansen Gregory Solved this problem by punching a hole in the center of the dough ball. Today i have prepared the baked version of donuts 

Ingredient:

3 cup all purpose flour

1 tsp dry yeast

1 cup warm water
