Which flour is good for donuts?

[Toffee]

Helloo, I've been experimenting with various flours for baking delectable donuts. But, I'm still unsure which yields the best results for a perfect one. I've tried using an all-purpose flour and even experimented with gluten-free options. Any insights or recommendations from seasoned bakers out there?

My tip is for a softer crumb in donuts, pastry flour can be used, however the dough may need to be somewhat more moistened.

All purpose flour is my go to as well when it comes to donuts! If you want to achieve a lighter and fluffier effect, you may opt to use pastry flour to have achieve that..

From my experience, self-rising flour isn't ideal for donuts. Stick to plain all-purpose flour for the best results!

Have you tried using a mix of all-purpose and cake flour? I find it strikes a nice balance between texture and flavor, though experimentation is key!

For donuts, I'd recommend using all-purpose flour or bread flour for a nice texture and structure.
