If I had to pick my favorite holiday in the world it would undoubtedly be Halloween. I love the scary home decorations, kids’ trick or treat games, the cool costumes and the colorful and creepy desserts. It’s just so much fun \u2013 colorful and happy holiday.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, similar to last year, this year we will not be hosting our traditional Halloween party. Because of Covid I really don\u2019t want to put anyone at risk. So, I celebrate Halloween in my heart (and through pictures my spouse sends me from a conference over in the US these days), and also make all kinds of decorated sweets.<\/p>\n

This is how these donuts were thought of. These Halloween donuts are just regular raised donuts but I topped them with Halloween decorations such as spiderweb and ghosts. Of course you can decorate them with any other decoration you like.<\/p>\n

          \n

          Dough:<\/h4>\n
            \n
          1. In a mixer bowl with a kneading attachment place flour, yeast, egg, sugar, milk, vanilla, salt and butter and knead for about 10-12 minutes until a soft and slightly sticky dough is obtained.<\/li>\n
          2. Cover the dough bowl and allow rising for 1-2 hours or until the dough doubles in volume. You can also rise the dough overnight in the fridge.<\/li>\n
          3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 2 cm.<\/li>\n
          4. Cut out circles 7-8 cm in diameter and remove the inside with a smaller cookie cutter, 2-3 cm in diameter.<\/li>\n
          5. Place the donuts on an oven tray lined with well-greased baking paper.<\/li>\n
          6. Brush the donuts with a little oil on top, cover and rise again until they almost double in volume.<\/li>\n
          7. Heat oil in a deep-frying pan to a temperature of about 180 Celsius degrees. If you do not have a thermometer, simply check when tiny bubbles form as soon as you insert the handle of a wooden spoon.<\/li>\n
          8. Fry the donuts for 1-3 minutes on each side or until golden and brown.<\/li>\n
          9. Remove from the oil and transfer to a plate with paper towel.<\/li>\n
          10. Cool to room temperature.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Orange chocolate coating:<\/h4>\n
              \n
            1. Put chocolate and cream in a bowl and melt together in the microwave or over double-boiler until everything is melted and a uniform ganache is obtained. Add in the color.<\/li>\n
            2. Dip the donuts in the icing and sprinkle with candy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Spider web Chocolate Coating:<\/h4>\n
                \n
              1. Put chocolate and cream in a bowl and melt together in the microwave or over double-boiler until everything is melted and a uniform ganache is obtained.<\/li>\n
              2. Dip the donuts in the coating and place on a plate. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes to set.<\/li>\n
              3. Transfer the white chocolate to a small drizzle bag and drizzle cobwebs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Ghost Sugar Glaze:<\/h4>\n
                  \n
                1. Mix powdered sugar and water until a uniform texture of fairly thin tahini is obtained.<\/li>\n
                2. Pour the glaze over the donuts and let settle for about 15 minutes at room temperature.<\/li>\n
                3. Dip the glazed donuts in powdered sugar and drizzle eyes with melted dark chocolate.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n
                  \n
                    \n
                  • The donuts are at their best on the day of preparation, so it is recommended to serve as close to frying as possible.<\/li>\n
                  • You can decorate and watch everything you like – go wild!<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n
