I Made A Giant 30-Pound Donut For A Bodybuilder • Tasty

We have like 20

pound

s of dough for this

donut

I don't think this table is big enough I think it's time to go big or go home This is the biggest note I've ever seen Hi my name is Alvin I'm

tasty

producer and I love making big food, so yesterday I got an Instagram message from a

bodybuilder

with a mango, there are no

donut

s here and he says: Hey buddy, I have an idea. I watched the

giant

burger video and tomorrow is my cheat day. I was wondering if you could. make me a

giant

donut, oh man that sounds crazy, how big, I have to eat big to grow, awesome, that's what I like to hear, call me tomorrow and I'll see what I can do, and I've gotten a lot of requests too. make a giant donut so I feel like I know what I'm going to make today how are you?

Yes, it's a pleasure to see you. Yes, the same way for people who don't know you. What are you doing? I'm a policeman. I am a fitness person. I have been a police officer for over 11 years, but I have used social media as a platform to encourage first responders to live healthier lifestyles. What is the story behind your social networks? My name is there are no donuts here, I make fun of the policeman who eats donuts. stereotype you want to receive gifts and look professional you know that fitness plays a huge role in that, what is your relationship with food, it has a lot to do with whether you are storing fat, building muscle, the cheat day is mainly to keep you sane, drop your carbs. very low and you want to have a donut to fill you up, yeah, make you feel good, sounds like today is your cheat day, have you worked out today yet haven't you?

How about I go make the big donut if you want to go work out and have a really fun cheat meal for yourself, looks like I'm going to need that exercise okay cool thanks buddy I'll see you in a bit okay Let's make this big donut for a big man, the first thing we're going to do. We're going to have to make the donut dough a yeast donut, so we're going to start by making the yeast mixture, a little bit of milk, a little bit of warm water, a little bit of sugar and the yeast, oh I just spilled a little bit, it's well, this yeast will just soak it all up.

This good sugar, all this good milk really grows into a big boy, see you in a moment, so this donut requires a lot of flour and my mixing bowl is only that big, so I'm actually going to make two batches. complete of this mass, ten whole. cups flour this is a white cloud a little salt shortening four eggs plug it into the dough mixer delicious yeast mixture oh god I'm spilling everywhere accidents happen that's okay stay clean so the funny thing is Even one of these batches makes about 20-30 donuts and I'm doubling it so there will be enough dough for 40-60 donuts.

I think it's time to go big or go home. I really don't want to go home. Look at all that mass, let's get you out. from here, put it in this big bowl, this is the biggest bowl we have in the

tasty

kitchen, get out of there, come on, buddy, this is the most I've ever had in my entire life, wouldn't I be a good rapper, okay, the gluten is coming, that's just one, we have to make another batch. I told my mom I was going to make that dough. I don't think she knew this is what I meant, we have like 20

pound

s of dough here for this donut, which was fun, these gluten strands are like super tight now we want you to relax I'm going to go in and take a long nap to the big moments, okay, I'll see you and I'll see you in a moment, now let's make the glaze for the donut so that the glaze is.

Pretty simple, we just have a little melted butter, that's a lot of butter, but more butter, the better. The funny thing is that the original glaze recipe makes enough for between 10 and 15 donuts. We're making a really big one, so I tripled the recipe, I think. This batch of pink frosting will be enough for 30 to 45 regular donuts, so melt the butter, we'll add a little bit of milk, three cups of powdered sugar, that cloud reminds me of something else, snow, so there's a lot of lumps. a good whisk here, whisk it through the glass, it looks really good, that pickling is happening here, so at this point we're going to add the color literally, the ingredient is the color pink, I hope it's pink, wait, oh, okay, that's pink, we're good. one drop of the pink color, oh I added two, look at that, two drops did that, I said, that's quite a pink delight.

You can't have a giant donut without giant sprinkles for reference, these are regular rainbow sprinkles, this is the size of a sprinkle. You know how to make sprinkles because I'm sure I've done it before. I'm going to take a little bit of powdered sugar, a little bit of corn syrup, a little bit of cornstarch and a little bit of water. I think that's literally it, sparks have colors. I have like 10 million things of food coloring in here. so let's divide this into 10 bajillion bowls and then let's color it one two three four five came drip drip drip red yellow green blue me blue what's going on blue man I don't want too much I just need a little bit okay there's blue and purple , okay yellow you better represent us well oh that looks good boom the purple is done so warm them up a little bit and I need to place each color individually in the piping bag for little trick grab a cup put your piping bag with the tip like this transfer the glaze see if it works that's great that feeling when you're like cutting paper in kindergarten and you just slide with the scissors that's what this feels like the next color.

Let's pick up where I left off on train number two. Blue. I love that last, but not least. Purple. Okay, I know you can't really see it, but this is the size of a pinch. difference I'll let them dry and see you in a moment, okay let's see how big my dough has gotten, sweet baby Jesus, look at this one, he went straight through puberty and hit menopause, get the flower, here we go, come. let's get out of there oh damn, look at that gluten, look at you, I'm going to work it a little bit, knock some air out of it and then we'll shape it back into a ball.

It's got some weight to it, look at this absolute unit right there, it's hidden under Lebron James, this guy's going to relax a little bit and then we're going to shape it into a real donut, so one thing I probably should have thought about was how big it's going to be this donut, so this is the biggest pan we have. I don't think this pan will be enough. I have a friend who is a chef nearby. I hope he has something bigger so let me message him and see what he says, hey super random question but what is the size of your largest pan?

I have a big stupid walk, it's 30 inches, a five dollar bill for reference, holy shit I'm going to be over 30 inches, it's the entire width of this table, so your walk is going to be this big, like this I have to turn this ball of dough into a perfect donut ring. Bye baby, this is fun. I've never had to use my forearms to knead before. Simply start in the middle and work your way out. Okay, how do we see each other? Yeah, that's not big enough. I don't think this table is big enough. I have to circle it.

I'm going to weave these two extremes together here, birds and bees. Right now I have to figure out how to do it. transport this to the restaurant, a big piece of cardboard covered with parchment paper and taped to the back, so here we go, let's go for it, we can remodel it, okay, okay, little guy, let's come here . Cover this with plastic wrap and then we'll head to the restaurant can someone call me uber 30 inches where did you get this I bought in Chinatown? Oh, 300 degrees, you have to go lower, yeah, how long do you think it will take?

We should fry this before turning it over. I think we'll give it another four minutes. How are we going to turn this error around? Someone uses two tongs, okay, and then someone uses two ladles. Don't do this at home. This is very dangerous. a qualified professional, this is heavy, yeah, oh, it's like, uh, here, can you go deeper?, oh god, I drilled it, I think we need a better tool, oh, okay, oh, sh, oh, no I know if it will stay together, yeah, me neither. Good technique, although maybe we should have dipped it, I think we can make it work, so I'll make another batch, we're not going to let this go to waste, yeah, let's cut it up and make it into breakfast, okay?

I want to use it yeah I'll take it cool see you guys in a bit eric I

made

another donut in the second round here we go fingers crossed let's do it it's going in yeah okay beautiful so this goes, okay? We'll submerge it to make sure it can cook and that you can cook more evenly. Yeah, let's do this and then we'll press it with heavy things. We have a textbook. Textbook plates, two on each side. This is a very DIY situation. It's called problem solving, this is what Columbia University doesn't teach, so I think this will cook for about 20 to 25 minutes.

Let's check back in a moment to see if we can turn it around. This looks pretty good if you look at it. It looks really beautiful, super, super crunchy, let's try a super difficult task: flip it over because last time this is where I feel good, let's remove these weights, one, two, three, okay, wow dude, this thing It's huge, wow, this is a nice donut. little white spot on the back uh let's cook it once it's flipped and then I'll trim any that don't look right okay get out of there I just want to see how heavy it is oh hell. heavy, let's do the tray method, okay, so let's jump in here.

Can you help me put this on the tray? Yeah, oh, look at it, look how solid it, oh, here we go, you got it, you got it, yeah, okay. Wow, look at that, oh come on, yeah, this is crazy, we did it, look, that's amazing, it looks like a cross between a bagel and a donut, this is the biggest no-no I've ever seen, This is Homer's donut, it's a big zero. because that's how many calories there are, don't think that's how it works, you're doing, oh, great, good job, eric, okay, I've got your back, yeah, okay, we got it, yeah, okay, Great, be careful, the hot oil goes in, goes and the tray underneath is beautiful.

I have to do some asmr wait hello today we will explore a giant donut I won't do that anymore okay thanks buddy see you good bye good luck okay we're back and we're going to make these big donuts get my sparks I

made

some white sprinkles because I forgot to do that and after seeing how big the donut was, I doubled the amount of frosting I have. All I need to do is cut these giant sprinkles into shape and we can finally frost. and sprinkle on the donut, damn, that's a nice sprinkle right here, I accidentally hit someone with this, this could be salt with a deadly weapon, more like salt with a delicious weapon, okay, these sprinkles are ready to go, I think it's time to glaze this donut make sure there are no clumps you look good this could get messy damn look at this waterfall of icing so we need to get the sprinkles on before everything starts setting all the colors , I think this is done, here we go, hey Mike, yeah, do you want your donut?

I'm ready, okay, close your eyes, here we go, this is so heavy that we needed two people to lift it. One, two, three, open your eyes. No way, you're kidding, this is what you expected when I said I was going to force you. a dinosaur wasn't thinking that big this is a crazy choice this has to be 20 30 pounds a piece cut for you oh man that's like three donuts right there this is for you alright cheers mike cheers happy cheat day yeah well it was nice good, it's perfect, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, the frosting is great, lots of cheat days coming up, that's really good, maybe I'll have to take all of this home, thanks buddy, thanks guys, okay, bye, Mike, bye, guys, have a good time.
