I found this recipe on a blog I stumbled across a while ago called Frugal Veggie Mama. Even if you aren't vegetarian, I highly recommend that you spend some time over there. She talks a lot about things her family does to live frugally, with an eye to the future. It was very inspiring!
No Fry Donuts
From The Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla Emery
2 packages of dry yeast (4 1/2 tsp.)
about 3/4 cup warm water
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup gluten (this is optional but it makes it rise faster- I didn't use it)
1/3 cup canola oil
1tsp. nutmeg
4 1/2 cup whole wheat bread flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Combine all ingredients. Knead , cover and let rise for about 1 hour. Turn onto floured surface and roll until about 1/2 inch thick. Cut with drinking glass for donuts or a shot glass for donut holes. Place on greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, cover and let rise until doubled in bulk. Bake 8-10 minutes in a 425 degree oven.
From the OP: I usually triple the recipe, cooking one batch and freezing the raw dough of the other two batches. The day before I want to make the donuts, I just leave the dough in the fridge to thaw and the next morning we have fresh baked donuts. I did the same and it worked great for me.
