We bought the Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the beginning of the video at Penn Station. Normally, we'd advise you to never ingest anything that has at any point entered or left Penn Station (for your health and safety), but we always make an exception for Krispy Kreme. And this is solely because there is only one Krispy Kreme location in New York City. Join Claire Saffitz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she attempts to make a gourmet version of Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

    the fact that they don't try to make these videos formal and just have everyone casually working and hanging out in the background makes theses videos sooo good
  • @gil2053

    For those who wants the final recipe 36:21 | ps: it's very nice to watch the entire process of trying and error to get to the final recipe moment. But if like me you want to make yourself later, this timestamp is really useful

    I believe the reason Claire was having such a hard time achieving the classic KK doughnut texture is because she neglected to take into consideration the fact that KK proofs their dough in a proofing box which controls the humidity. Humidly plays a huge role in proofing dough which is why I’m surprised she missed that aspect of it. She gave it a valiant effort. Well done, Claire! They looked amazing!

  • We can't get Krispy Kreme in the lower Keys so I made this recipe. My neighbors were blown away and loved these doughnuts. The texture was exquisite and some thought they were better than Krispies. Soooooo good. Thanks for this valuable video.

    Krispie Kreme donuts were first made in Winston Salem, NC. Our stores make them in-house and you can watch the process. When a new batch is ready, they flip on a sign that says, “Hot and Ready.” A fresh hot Krispie Kreme is mind blowing!
  • chris ignoring the loud mixer he recommended chris: “y’all hear something??”
  • @Lenore.18
    I don’t know what’s more impressive, the fact that she actually did it, or the fact that she was able to read the ingredients
  • @donnytello1544
    The roux she made is also known as a thangzong, popular in Japanese breads, where they gelatinize some of the flour with milk and cook it down to a paste. It really helps enhance the soft sponginess of your breads, good thoughts Claire!
  • @annaoop
    finally a gourmet makes that doesn’t sound like it’s going to send claire into an early retirement

    "Pick one object in the test kitchen as a weapon" "Brad"

    Who else is watching this because they miss the old BA kitchen
  • @jacintha1000
    The secret ingredient they use is glutenous rice flour along with all purpose flour. Hope you see this message and do another video to get the Krispy Kreme donuts 🙂
