Homemade Dunkin' Donuts Chocolate Glazed Donut Recipe

This recipe recreates Dunkin' Donuts style chocolate glazed donuts from scratch using a yeast-raised dough. The dough is enriched with milk, butter, vanilla, and sugar, then rolled, cut, fried, and finished with a chocolate glaze for an authentic soft and tender donut experience.

Description

The Homemade Dunkin' Donuts Chocolate Glazed Donut Recipe starts with mixing flour, sugar, yeast, and salt, then adding warm milk melted with butter and vanilla to create a sticky dough. The dough is kneaded until smooth and shiny, then left to rise until doubled in size to develop its soft texture. After rolling out and cutting the donuts and holes, they are fried in vegetable oil until golden and cooked through.

The chocolate glaze is applied after frying to coat the donuts and provide the signature shiny finish and rich chocolate flavor. This method yields donuts that closely match the texture and taste of the store-bought Dunkin' version with a fluffy crumb and tender bite.

The recipe notes clarify yeast substitutions: active dry and instant yeast can be used with appropriate adjustments to quantities and handling to ensure proper dough rise and texture.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 ¼ cups (16oz/454g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (2 oz/57g) granulated sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dried yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup + 1 tablespoon (8floz/225ml) milk whole
  • 4 tablespoons (2oz/57g) butter
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • vegetable oil for frying

Notes

  • Instant yeast can replace active dry yeast at half the amount, added directly to dry ingredients avoiding salt to prevent deactivation.
  • Dough should be shiny and smooth after mixing and is expected to be somewhat saggy before rising.
  • Ensure the cutter is dusted with flour to prevent sticking when cutting dough shapes.
