What is the history of the doughnut? The doughnut has been around since the early 1800s, when a woman named Elizabeth Gregory made a deep-fried dough treat that she called "doughnuts" for her son, Hanson Gregory, who was a sea captain. Hanson is credited with inventing the hole in the middle of the doughnut. He said he did this so that the doughnuts would cook more evenly. In the late 1800s, a New England ship captain named Captain Gregory created the first recipe for doughnuts. His recipe included nutmeg and cinnamon, and the doughnuts were fried in pork fat, making them much sweeter than their modern-day counterparts. By the early 1900s, doughnuts had become popular in the United States, and they were often served at church socials and political events. During World War I, soldiers were given doughnuts as a treat. Today, doughnuts are sold in many varieties and are popular in many countries around the world.

The combination of fresh milled durum and spelt was a winner. This one had 69% fresh milled flour, with the only other being some KAF AP in the levain.I added some feta to the levain build to give it a little extra feta flavor.The dough was slightly underproofed, thus the tight crumb, but it tasted great. It made amazing grilled bread brushed with a little EVOO.The durum was milled and sifted with a #30 drum sieve and then re-milled at my Mockmill 200’s finest setting and sifted with a #40. The spelt was only sifted once with a #30 and re-milled.
