      I'm no food scientist but I think you can. Just make sure it's slightly warm water so it helps activate the yeast. Stay safe!

      You can use either, but if you use unsalted butter I recommend you remove don't use the 3/4 tsp of salt. Or else it might be too salty. Sorry, this is very late :P

    This homemade doughnut recipe looks absolutely amazing and I love how detailed your instructions are with all those helpful notes. Making doughnuts from scratch seems like such a rewarding experience especially when they turn out crispy and fluffy like you described. I've been comparing costs lately and wondering how much is a donut at dunkin donuts versus making them at home because the price difference might be worth the effort. Your step by step method makes it feel totally doable even for someone like me who doesn't bake often..

    I like how simple and homemade this version is. It also made me curious about dietary options like the Dunkin Donuts gluten free menu, since it’s interesting to see what alternatives people look for when enjoying treats like donuts and coffee. Thanks for sharing!
