The history of donuts is fascinating, with deep roots in diverse culinary traditions. These delights have evolved over time, with each culture contributing its own ingredients and preparation methods. Donuts are often associated with moments of celebration and joy, being a beloved dessert for everyone.

Step by step:

1. Heating the milk: Start by heating the milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the butter cut into cubes and stir occasionally until completely melted. It’s important not to boil the milk, just warm it gently to better activate the yeast.

2. Preparing the dry mixture: In a large bowl, combine the flour, dry yeast, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients well to ensure the yeast is evenly distributed in the flour.

3. Adding wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg well, then add it to the flour mixture. Gradually pour in the warm milk with the melted butter and mix everything with a spatula or by hand until you get a smooth dough. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little flour, but be careful not to overdo it!

4. Kneading the dough: Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead it for about 5-10 minutes. The dough should become non-sticky and elastic. This is the perfect time to add your personal touch! You can add some flavors, such as cinnamon or lemon zest, for an even more special taste.

5. Dough rising: Place the dough in a bowl greased with a little oil and cover it with a clean towel. Let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place until it doubles in size. This is when the magic happens!

6. Shaping the donuts: After the dough has risen, transfer it to the work surface and gently press it to release the air. Roll it out with a rolling pin until it reaches a thickness of about 1-2 cm. Use a glass to cut circles from the dough. You can make small donuts, perfect for eating by hand, or opt for larger sizes, depending on your preferences.

7. Frying the donuts: In a deep pan, heat the oil to 180°C. Test the temperature by adding a small piece of dough – if it rises to the surface and starts to sizzle, the oil is ready. Fry the donuts in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Remove them to a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

8. Preparing the glaze: While the donuts cool, melt the white chocolate in a double boiler. Make sure no water gets into the chocolate, as it will spoil. Once melted, you can add a few drops of coconut oil to give it a shinier appearance.

9. Glazing the donuts: When the donuts are completely cool, dip them in the melted white chocolate, then roll them in colorful candies for a festive look. Here you can let your imagination run wild – you can use coconut flakes, crushed nuts, or even colored sprinkles.

10. Serving: Your donuts are now ready to serve! You can place them on a nice platter and offer them alongside a cup of coffee, tea, or even a glass of cold milk. They are perfect for a party, a gathering with friends, or simply to treat the family.

Useful tips:
- If you want to prepare the donuts in advance, you can freeze them after frying. Place them in airtight bags and take them out a few hours before glazing.
- You can experiment with various flavors and fillings. For example, you can add chocolate chips to the dough or fillings of jam before frying.
- Donuts are tastier when consumed freshly fried, but if there are leftovers, you can reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to make them crispy again.

Calories and nutritional benefits:
Each donut has about 180 calories, depending on size and ingredients used. Although they are delicious and satisfying, it’s important to consume them in moderation. Flour and sugar provide quick energy, and while white chocolate may add calories, it also contains antioxidants that can be beneficial for health, as long as it is consumed in moderation.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes, you can replace part of the white flour with whole wheat flour to add more fiber.

2. What other types of glaze can I use?
In addition to white chocolate, you can use dark chocolate, caramel glaze, or a lemon glaze for a fresh touch.

3. Can I make the donuts without yeast?
For a quicker version, you can use baking powder, but the taste will be different.

4. How can I keep the donuts fresh?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature.
