Doughnut
also called Donut, Ring doughnut
About
A doughnut is a palm-sized sweet pastry typically made from fried or baked leavened dough.
Doughnut sizes vary widely, ranging from one-inch bite-sized holes to oversized novelty pastries sold at specialty bakeries. Filled varieties, such as jelly or custard doughnuts, often weigh significantly more than ring doughnuts of the same dimensions. During the frying process, yeast-leavened dough expands dramatically, nearly doubling in thickness as air pockets swell inside.
