donuts time again in da house! smells like heaven here..and I want to share this version of Linda Lomelino donuts with you because I’m obsessed with her book and I know you love donuts as well such as me, such as all the universe.
salty and sweet! I already told you that it’s the best combination ever in the world of baking, so I’m keeping trying new things with this awesome concept. The result here it’s a simple airy dough with a great fermentation, a simply melted chocolate on the top and amazing crunchy caramelized chopped almonds (a.k.a. guirlache) sprinkled.
with that description you should be already mouth-watering, or am I wrong?..no I’m not, and I’m going to confess to you that it was super difficult to don’t eat them all at once when they were finished. super difficult. too much for the body.
let’s bake!
