To make the dough for the donut canes, we will be utilizing a basic sweet roll recipe. Alternatively, caned "premade" biscuit dough can be used in place of sweet roll recipe, however fresh is best!
Basic Sweet Rolls Recipe
(Baked Donut Canes)
- 1-1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup semisweet milk
7 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups water
2 Packs Instant Active Yeast (14 grams)
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons shortening or butter
1 egg
2 tablespoons melted shortening
1. Scald milk and semisweet milk in a medium saucepan, remove 1/3 cup milk mixture and place liquid into separate container, mix yeast into 1/3 cup milk mixture at 110F (using low temperature thermometer.) Allow yeast to activate at approximately 10 minutes, add salt, sugar, shortening, and eggs, add dissolved yeast to saucepan. Mix well.
2. Sift and measure the flour into a large bowl.
In a mixing bowl with dough hook
Stir in half milk mixture.
Add 4 cups flour
incorporate 20-30 seconds on low speed
3. Add remaining milk mixture
4. Add remaining 3 cups flour, holding back ½ cup of flour until satisfied with dough consistency or until dough clings to hook and moderately stiff.
Take finished dough to bakers table and cover in plastic for 30 minutes or until dough doubles in size, loaf 1 ball of dough and cover with plastic for additional 20 minutes.
When ball of dough is double in size, flatten dough with hands or alternatively using rolling pin, proceed to roll dough 3/4 thick, all while relaxing the dough to prevent contraction of dough when cut.
Proceed to cut 3/4" strips of dough (SEE VIDEO) at 7 " in length.
Roll and shape the strips of dough into donut canes (SEE VIDEO)
Place donut canes on lined baking sheets and cover donut canes with parchment or wax paper until donut canes double in size.
Bake donut canes at 325 degrees for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Tip: Preheat oven to 350 degrees, place baking sheet with donut canes into oven and reduce oven temperature, to 325 degrees. This will maximize the baking process ensuring light and tender donut canes
To finish and decorate donut canes? We need to make white icing (Alternatively, premade white icing can be used.).
In a sauce pan (Or microwave,) heat 1/2 cup milk to 120 degrees. In a bowl incorporate (Mix) the below mixture until smooth and creamy.
2-1/2 cups powdered sugar
6 Tablespoons milk
1/4 tablespoon lemon extract
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Finish donut canes by gently placing donuts into white icing, remove and sprinkle donut canes with green and red colored sugar, while icing is still wet. Stripe donut canes with raspberry pie filling or jam into the groves of donut canes (SEE VIDEO).
To make a piping bag to stripe the donut canes, utilize a zip lock bag and cut a small piece of the corner off. Fill and strip canes.
Enjoy!
