Donuts Attack...on a Sizzling Sunday Afternoon

Its crazy...its madness...its awesome...my first attempt of making my own donuts...though the looks of my donuts is not as "mouth watering" as Apple Donuts...but yet it was a real 1st attempt success....no...wait...a blessing from GOD...as per Fr John's sermon this morning...
I have been craving for donuts for ages...and yesterday i bought the donuts recipe book and so without wasting any more precious moments...I decided to venture...
So after my Ice City treat with the children i bought my ingredients and it was...bumblebee buzz and buzzed in the kitchen...
Its really indeed a blessing when someone finally invented that machine that we called the "bread machine". It certainly makes sense when it comes to preparing the dough for the donuts...
The task was so much lighter and burden lifted when it comes to the kneading and rubbing part...i hate that...but with a bread maker...its really a GOD sent kitchen helper.
From today onwards we will see more donuts coming from my kitchen...still not satisfied with the results, even though it was a "finger licking" donuts.. because i have yet to perfect the finishing touch of my donuts...close to Apple donuts standard...well..no harm in targetting that level...right?

400g High Protein flour
100g Superfine flour
