Any Home Bakers Here?

Morning everyone!

I have a question to ask, but the circumstances are weird. Does anybody have a donut recipe?

It’s weird because I got a black bear tag and a baiting permit, and one of the best baits for black bear is donuts, believe it or not. I need to make my own donuts so I can use them as bait.

Anybody got a good recipe?

Yes, you read that right. I got a black bear tag. The season is already open. I just got a find time to go out and set up the bait barrel.

There are donut recipes in the index.

I'm making yogurt today. Not really baking, per se. But I was in the kitchen, it was food related, I was turning ingredients into something else, and there was heat involved. Close enough?

Poppy-seed roll cake.
For Easter I baked 2 different cakes. Posting recipes separately.
I have multiple recipes for the dough. They are all very similar in ingredients but quantities vary slightly.
This is the one I used. Makes 3 logs. I wrapped the logs in parchment paper to bake. Left a little expansion room when I wrapped the dough ready to bake.

Ingredients.
500 g All-purpose flour
180 ml warm milk (about 3/4 cup)
15 g yeast, (2 envelopes)
70 g sugar (about 1/3 cup)
6 egg yolks
1 Tbs Vanilla
½ Tsp salt
150 g butter. (about 1½ sticks)

Poppy-seed mix from can. 850 g size. Already prepared, but I enhanced it with raisins hydrated in Rum.
1 cup of golden raisins.

Procedure.
Proofed yeast, in warm milk and some flour.
Beat egg yolks and sugar.
Add vanilla, salt and ½ of the flour. Mix well.
Add cooled melted butter, and mix.
When well mixed, add remaining flour a little at a time to get dough to stiff consistency.

Rise until doubled, (1 to 1½ hours) Then roll out.

Prepare poppy-seed filling. . Beat egg whites and soak raisins.

I did not need to add all the egg whites, mix would have been too runny, so about 1/3 of the quantity. I did a little at a time until my mix looked as below.

Spread out onto rolled out dough.

Rolled up.

Placed into parchment. After a second rise, about 30 minutes, baked @350°F for about 40 minutes. Checked, they were nice and tanned, so I took out and cooled still wrapped in parchment paper. After about 15 minutes, I removed parchment paper.

Mity delicious

How it looked with the other cake displayed on table.,,The pale one in the background is Pepperidge Farm Coconut layer

Note: I have made same dough recipe, and filled with shredded apples, (dusted with cinnamon, and sprinkled with brown sugar,, and rolled up same way.)

I made chili in the slow cooker today, so went ahead, and canned the remaining open bags of beans. I filled eleven quarts, but the canner can only do 7q/ 14 (or is it 16?) pints at a time. Tomorrow I’ll do the rest. Right now I’m enjoying the symphony of lids popping.
