Sunday Morning

I had this crazy idea to make some fancy donuts. Kind of like fancy cupcakes but in donut (or square) form and in donut dough. I told Chris the idea and like the awesome, driven, motivated man he is we made them, just like that. I've got a few pictures. It took us all of Sunday to prepare the dough (most of the time took for the dough to rise). We were a little bit skeptical how the donuts would come out other than not looking like traditional donuts and surprisingly they were all three delicious! We made a bacon donut with bacon pieces in the dough with maple cream cheese frosting, a banana walnut donut with fresh banana and walnuts in the dough and topped it with a crumb topping, and then the most adventurous was the Chili (or siracha) chocolate donut with a siracha cream cheese frosting. We executed the flavors nicely, now we just need to make them look like donuts!
