Tips for Frying Breads

Heat oil to 375°F unless recipe specifies otherwise. A cube

of bread should brown in approximately 60 seconds. Correct

temperature is extremely important. If the temperature is too

high, breads will brown before the insides have cooked; if it is

too low, the bread will absorb the fat and become soggy and

greasy.
Cook only as much as will float easily in the oil. Too much

added to the Waring Pro

Professional Deep Fryer will cause the

temperature to drop, and the pieces will be difficult to turn. Turn

bread when it rises to the top of the oil, taking care not to pierce

it. Lift cooked breads from the fryer; allow them to drain for a

moment, then place on paper towels to drain.

Applesauce Spice Doughnuts

Makes about 16
2¹⁄

cups unbleached, all-purpose flour, divided

2 teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¹⁄

teaspoon ground allspice

pinch freshly grated/ground nutmeg

½ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening

²∕³ cup applesauce

1 large egg

vegetable oil for frying

flour for dusting

powdered or granulated sugar for dusting

Using a whisk, blend together the flour, baking powder, salt, and

spices in a medium bowl; reserve. Put the sugar and shortening in a

large bowl. With an electric mixer on low speed, beat to blend and

break up the shortening. Add the applesauce and egg; beat until

smooth. Add the flour mixture in two additions and blend on medium

speed until mixed. Cover dough and chill for a least 1 hour.
Divide dough into two equal portions. Place one portion of dough on

a generously floured surface and dust with flour. Roll out to ½-inch

thickness. Cut dough with a floured doughnut cutter and place

doughnuts on a waxed paper lined baking sheet or tray. Repeat with

remaining dough. Re-roll scraps and repeat.
Heat vegetable oil in Waring Pro

Professional Deep Fryer until it

reaches 375°F. Carefully lower 3 doughnuts into the hot oil – do not

overcrowd! Fry on each side, about 1½ to 2 minutes, turning with a

slotted spoon or wire skimmer. Remove and drain on layered paper

towels. Pat gently to remove any excess oil, and sprinkle with desired

amount of sugar.
