New Stove, 200th. Post and Baked Glazed Donuts


My new stove is being delivered and installed as I sit here typing.
Yippe-Kay-Yeah!
I have wanted a new stove for about 10 years - but I didn't need a new stove until the oven started acting up about 8 weeks ago. First, it wouldn't heat. Then it heated to whatever temperature it felt like. Set it at 350 degrees, it might heat up to 200 or it might heat up to 450, whatever it felt like. There was no way I was even interested in having it repaired. Ten years is long enough to wait for a vital piece of machinery when you are a cook. I've been thinking about the first thing I should cook on my new stove for about 2 weeks and today THIS recipe poked me in the eye. It is fairly low calorie so it fits my current diet
AND TBHITW is about to go into dessert withdrawal.
AND I get to test the oven out.
AND I'm not only celebrating my new stove (with two ovens, 5 burners and a griddle) I'm celebrating my 200th. post!! Happy Day!

Baked Donuts:
3/4 cup plus one tablespoon buttermilk
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup egg substitute
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon peel
2 1/2 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon thyme (optional)*
1/2 tablespoon yeast
*thyme and lemon and olive oil make a delicious dough, if you've never had it, try it!!
Glaze
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp. lemon juice

Place ingredients in bread machine* following the order specified by manufacturer and process on “dough” cycle; when dough is ready, remove from machine.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Separate into 10 balls. Pull a large hole in the center of each, shaping into donut shape. Place on greased baking sheet, cover and let rise until double, about 45 minutes. Bake about 6-8 minutes.
Combine lemon juice and sugar, adding more juice if needed to make drizzling consistency and spoon glaze over warm donuts.
*If you don't have a bread machine, combine ingredients by hand, proofing the yeast in 1/4 cup warm water first. Mix thoroughly, then knead by hand for 8 to 10 minutes. Proceed to shaping and rising.
Now I've got to go. It's time to make the donuts!!
