Recipe - Yeast Risen Donuts Baked as Bread - What happens?

This is playing with my food.  I know, Mom said, Never.  In this case, I'm being "creative" with recipes.

The recipe is from the treasure trove of Bread Machines I have gotten over the last decades.  I was paging through and noticed one for Yeast Risen Donuts.  If you roll this out to 3/8 of an inch, cut them out to donut shapes, shape, fry and decorate with cinnamon sugar, you will have some great treats.

I have been saying that Donuts are nothing more than a Brioche Roll recipe that has been tweaked.  This one is proof of that.  It has an extra blast of sugar in the recipe to make it into a sweet-er bread.  The resulting flavor is like an old school restaurant dinner roll.  Very soft and fluffy.  It added about an extra 10g or 1/3 ounce of sugar to each roll from the standard bread recipe.

Dinner tonight will one of these with a slap of Grapefruit Curd or Homemade Mango Jelly (I haven't decided) and some peanut butter.  The side dish will be a Plantain cooked in a skillet with butter, cinnamon, and sugar.

I had a 20 mile cycling workout today in the heat.  Don't judge!  :)


Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup milk
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup Butter or Margarine, softened. 
• 1 egg, scrambled (Sorry Vegans, it's for flavor and texture)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast 
• 3 Cups All Purpose Flour (Plus more if this is thin like mine was)

 Process:

• To proof the yeast, mix milk, water, butter, and scrambled egg.  Temperature should be about 105F or 40C.
• Add yeast to that container and allow to proof.
• Add Ingredients to the bucket of the bread machine, or to the mixer with a dough hook in order listed.
• Mix your dough as needed with the dough hook or the dough cycle in the bread machine.
• To make rolls, divide dough into appropriate size (about 80 grams or 3 ounces each) and roll out or place dough into greased bread pans.
• Bake at 400F until golden brown.
• Enjoy.
  
  No, really, enjoy.  They were wonderful, even nostalgic.
