Tropical Coco Nots

This yeast-raised doughnut recipe is heavily adapted from Heidi Swanson’s website, and flavoured with the divine tropical flavours of coconut and pineapple. Don't over bake these, if anything, under bake them a bit - they will continue baking outside the oven for a few minutes. Read more You want an interior that is moist and tender - not dry. The dough can be made and baked a day ahead if necessary (store loosely covered at room temperature), but they need to be served within a few hours of being filled and glazed, otherwise they will go soggy.

Ingredients
- 1/3 cups warm water shopping list
- 1 tsp honey shopping list
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons) shopping list
- 2/3 cup warm coconut milk shopping list
- 1/3 cup warm water shopping list
- 2 tablespoons canola oil shopping list
- ½ cup sugar shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 3 cups flour shopping list
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour shopping list
- 1 teaspoon salt shopping list
- ¾ cup pineapple jam or preserves shopping list
- 1 ¼ cups Splenda Granulated (or sugar) shopping list
- ¼ cup cornstarch shopping list
- 2 tablespoons hot water shopping list
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract shopping list
- 1/2 cup toasted unsweetened shredded coconut shopping list
How to make it
- Place warm water in the bowl of an electric mixer. Stir in the honey and yeast and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Combine warm coconut milk, warm water, oil and sugar. Add it to the yeast mixture and mix.
- Stir in the eggs, flours and salt just until the flour is incorporated.
- With the dough hook attachment of your mixer beat the dough for a few minutes at medium speed.
- If your dough is overly sticky, add flour a few tablespoons at a time. Too dry? Add more milk a bit at a time. You want the dough to pull away from the sides of the mixing bowl and eventually become supple and smooth.
- Turn it out onto a floured counter-top, knead a few times (the dough should be barely sticky), and shape into a ball.
- Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover, put in a warm place.
- Let rise for an hour or until the dough has roughly doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out 1/2-inch thick on your floured countertop. Cut out circles using a round cookie cutter or glass.
- Transfer the circles to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cover with a clean cloth and let rise for another 45 minutes.
- Bake in a 375 degree oven 8 minutes.
- Cool completely on wire rack.
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a Bismark tube (like Ateco #230 or #231) with the pineapple preserves.
- Fill each doughnut. Do not over-fill!
- Blend Splenda and cornstarch in a blender or food processor until powdery. Pour into a shallow bowl, whisk in hot water and coconut extract until a thick but spreadable paste is formed.
- Dip filled doughnuts in the icing, sprinkle with shredded coconut and set back on rack to cool.
