How To Make Donuts (Food Business)
October 17, 2008 by Leo 8,304 Views
Plain for fancy, donuts are a quick, easy way to make and sell, according to Erlinda Ferrer-Soriano, lecturer at the ESF Cakes and Bread House. Mother who usually prepare their kids’ merienda can shoot two birds with one stone by preparing more than their kids’ need to earn more. Sell to friends and neighbors, tap coffee shops and offer donuts for concession, or accept orders.
Start-up capital is P1,000 and time to finish is 2 to 3 hours.
Materials Needed
Only a few utensils and ingredients are needed to make dough and icing. If you don’t have the utensils, you need about “845 to buy the following from the supermarket:

Around P300 is needed for the ingredients. To make dough, you need:
- 1 kilo bread flour
- 160 g white sugar
- 10 g iodized salt
- 20 g instant yeast
- 0.5 liter of drinking water
- 50 g of lard
To make icing and powder coating, set aside two sets of 227 grams powdered sugar (one box makes two sets which is P35) and 1/4 cup of powdered milk. You need 50 ml of cooking oil for frying.
Procedure
- The first process is preparing the dough. Sift a kilo of bread flour on a clean tabletop. Create a valley in the center and pour in the water in which you dissolve white sugar, iodized salt, and instant yeast. Then carefully mix in the flour by scraping the inner part until everything is mixed.
- Start kneading the dough by folding it toward you, then pushing it down and away from you with the heel of your hand. You may also use a mixer if you have one.
- Add the lard while continuously kneading the dough until its surface becomes smooth and no longer sticky. Set aside and cover the dough with a bowl for 30 minutes to prevent it from having a dry or scaly surface.
- While waiting, make the sugar icing by mixing powdered milk, powdered sugar, and 1/2 cup of water. Beat the mixture using manual whips until its consistency is similar to condensed milk. Set aside and go back to your dough.
- Also, prepare the powder coating by mixing powdered sugar and powdered milk until the consistency is even.
- After 30 minutes, get dough and sprinkle flour on top of it. Then flatten it using a rolling pin until it is half an inch thick. Cut pieces using a doughnut cutter. Before putting aside, prick the doughnuts with a barbecue stick or a fork to avoid surface surface swelling during frying. Place the doughnut cuts in the baking tray and allow it to expand for 30 minutes or until it attains the desired size and volume, but nor more than an hour.
- Pour cooking oil into pan. When oil is hot enough, fry doughnuts until golden brown, but remember to keep distance between pieces. Use a chopstick to flip them over, to cook the other side, and to get them out of the pan. Use chopstick to pick up the fried doughnuts to keep from distorting their shape. Drip the oil from the doughnuts before placing them on a serving tray.
- For a simple doughnuts, just dip in powder coating. For white frost doughnuts, dip one side in sugar icing prepared earlier. For a fancier doughnuts, add marshmallow or candy sprinkles on top. Serve or pack in boxes to sell.
Tips:
- Do clock the rising time, for over-risen dough will collapse or deflate.
- Don’t hold the cut doughnuts firmly to fry or they will collapse or deflate.
- Do cut frost. Use an improvised doughnuts cutter made from an empty tin can of milk and a cap of plastic bottle for the hole. You may also use barbecue sticks instead of chopsticks in cooking doughnuts.
How Much Will You Make
To get the retail price, add the costs of the ingredients, then another P15 for the packaging and for additional toppings or flavors. Multiply the sum by two to get a 100% markup, and then divide by the number of yield to get the price for each piece. Plain doughnuts usually go for P2.25 and P1.50, those wich icing for P7.00 and P3.00.

Thank you very much for putting the effort on posting these recipes, makes it easy for us to search. For those who are putting “efforts” to “negative comments”, why don’t you just enjoy reading the articles instead. God bless!
hi i just want to thank the people behind this website.you guys really did a good job this site really help everybody.keep up the good work thank you so much for sharing all the recipe Godbless all of you
@leo: while I find your web site quite informative, it doesn’t make it legal or moral. It is not enough that you “give credits” to the original authors of the articles published here in your web site. The right and moral thing to do is present a summary of (or excerpts from) the original article, then post a hyperlink to that article’s Web page. Or best of all, you can write your own original article. Or you can ask somebody to do it for you. Using an article on your Web site (with credits/acknowledgment) is similar to driving a stolen car and saying “thanks” to the owner.
@arn, of all the 16,000+ comments posted here appreciating entrepinoys site, you are one of a couple of reader who find it immoral. thanks for your advice though.
the purpose of this site is to get all related information both online and offline and present it all in one single page, so you don’t have to search it yourself.
i don’t get much out of this effort. a few ads pay in part for the hosting, registration and maintenance of the site, the rest comes from my own pocket.
i’m doing my part to make this country a little better. how about you?
I admire what you say you are doing. But let us stick to the issue: the use of other people’s articles is a big no no. Just the same, I wish you and your endeavor more years of success.
BTW, personal attacks should never get in when people try to to exchange reasons. Nobody has the monopoly on doing what is good for one’s country. What you are doing with this web site is admirable, indeed. Except for the copyright-infringement aspects. As my elementary teacher used to say: the end does not justify the means.
@arn, did i say bad words or call you names or something on my replies? sorry if i sound that way. its just a reaction of your “stolen car” analogy. i think this site is more like a “transmission line”, offering more hiways to deliver these useful information to as much people as possible, to “show them the proper way of catching fish that can feed them for life.”
personal attack will defeat the very purpose of why this site was created. yes, you have valid points and i thank you for that, i will gladly accept constructive criticisms. don’t worry i will deal the issues you raised, and will update everyone on this site. i’m on the good side. i’m not the enemy. we’re all friends here. thanks for dropping by.

i have one question……….. what is the market characteristics for the doughnut?

this is in response to the comment of batangpinoy (daw)!. Really you are still a kid who has to eat more donuts to enable you to understand that a batangpinoy like you is a boon to our progress, instead of appreciating good deeds, you abhorred it. Kawawa naman ang Pinas kung ang henerasyong susunod ay may mind set na tulad mo, bata!
Plagiarism or not, this is one good way of info dissemination. A lot of young entepreneurs are out there and accessing this site is one good way to start. Plagiarism won’t get you down, “inggit” will. Thanks to the blogger. Keep the recipes coming.
@batangpinoy, check your dictionary again for the word “plagiarism” then go back and check my site and read the “Disclaimer”. All articles posted here were given due credits — sources, authors, and photos used — are clearly published at the end. Articles posted here come from different sources, don’t use the word “almost all” because it’s not.
You’re just over-reacting.. raging hormones maybe? Why don’t we use that over-enthusiastic energy of yours in a more positive way like helping me to disseminate all this useful information to as many Filipinos as possible instead of whining? Don’t be a crab! And please don’t spam my site.. it’s not nice you know. Baka mapalo ka ng teacher mo, hala ka.
There’s still hope batangpinoy, you’re still young and you have a long way to go. Thanks for visiting.
YOur a fraud leo. This is clearly plaigarism. almost all of your articles are published in entrepreneur magazines. kaya di umaasenso pilipinas, gaya gaya lang ,recycling lang para lang kumita ng kaunti. Kawawa naman kaming mga batang pinoy, iiwan niyo sa amin ay isang kultura ng corruption tsk. tsk . tsk.
My kids and I love donuts thanks for the email. I’ll try to make some this week
Donuts are very popular here in Singapore. I have yet to see a Pinoy though that owns a donut shop here. Thanks for the post.
