Hi Shuy.
For large-scale donut dough production, it’s advisable to research and use a recipe specifically designed for bigger quantities, rather than simply doubling or tripling a home recipe. The reasons are as follows:
1. Ingredient proportions: When increasing quantities, some ingredients don’t behave the same way in large volumes. For example, yeast or leavening agents may need adjustments to ensure proper fermentation.
2. Dough consistency: Large batches of dough may require different kneading and fermentation techniques to ensure an even consistency, which can be difficult to achieve by just increasing the ingredients proportionally.
3. Professional equipment: Commercial recipes are often designed for industrial equipment, which is better suited to handle large quantities of dough, like industrial mixers and proofers.
In summary, it’s best to find a recipe adapted for commercial production that considers the necessary adjustments to achieve the desired quality in large batches.
Greetings.

Sort of the same question. Can I half the donut recipe? I don’t have a commercial 20L mixer. I have a basic 5L kitchen aide home mixer

Hi Matthew.
Yes, you can make the donut dough in a 5L KitchenAid mixer, but be sure not to overload it. If the dough is heavy, it’s better to divide the recipe into smaller batches or mix by hand to avoid damaging the mixer’s motor.
Best regards.
