Dough

A doughnut is a type of deep fried dessert food made out of dough or batter.

Ring doughnuts are made by joining the ends of a long, thin piece of dough into a ring or by using a doughnut cutter.

It leaves a doughnut-shaped piece of dough and a doughnut hole from dough removed from the center.

This smaller piece of dough can be cooked or re-added to the batch to make more doughnuts.

Or, a doughnut depositor can be used to place a circle of liquid dough (batter) into the deep fryer.

Doughnuts can be made from a yeast-based dough for more puffy doughnuts or a special type of cake batter.

The doughnuts get their name from Hanson Gregory, who "put hazelnuts or walnuts in the center, where the dough might not cook through".

Spring rolls make use of four basic steps such as preparing dough sheet, making fillings, wrapping and finally deep frying.

To make the rolls, dough is prepared by mixing the flour with water and a pinch of salt and is kept aside for a while after making.

The prepared dough is rolled into round thin sheets.

Often referred to as the Chinese ravioli, wontons are a variety of thin-skinned dumplings with meat, seafood or vegetable filling enclosed in tender wheat dough wrappers.
