In its most basic form, the doughnut is a piece of leavened fried dough with a hole in its middle, coated in sugar or glaze. Widely consumed as a dessert or snack, doughnuts have always come in a rich variety of flavours, toppings and fillings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The enduring popularity of doughnuts has seen companies striving for innovative recipes to cater to changing consumer tastes. According to data from Mintel, 42% of consumers in the APAC market are regularly on the lookout for new foods and flavours to try.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin_15\">Why Doughnuts have Attained Regional Popularity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The current surge of interest in fresh doughnut varieties can be attributed to several factors. This includes a growth in the number of bakeries and specialty doughnut shops, coupled with the viral appeal of Instagram-worthy food pictures shared on social media. The urbanisation of populations across APAC also means that more people have disposable income to cater to their munching habits or snack cravings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The versatility of the doughnut makes it an ideal subject for innovative changes. Here are four inventive new takes on the doughnut that recently made waves in APAC as alternatives to the traditional form of this bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin_15\">Four New Twists on the Standard Doughnut Across APAC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

It is distinguished from a standard doughnut by the absence of a hole in its centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bombolonis are usually light and airy in texture. A sourdough base for bomboloni gives the bread a fresh and unique flavour profile, with sour and salty notes along with a subtle umami undertone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin_15\">Explore and Innovate Your Doughnut-Making Process With Lesaffre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is plenty of potential to put your own spin on a doughnut recipe, and <a href=\"https:\/\/lesaffrebd.jin.services\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we\u2019re here to inspire you with our range of innovative baking solutions.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/saf-instant.com\/en\/professional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saf-instant\u00ae yeast<\/a> range is designed for ease of use and is specially developed to cater to the sugar levels of your chosen dough.
