How to Make . . . By Kelly Buchanan2004
Introduction • Krispy Kreme Donuts are made in factory stores -- where donuts are sold to the public AND made to sell to grocery stores • All Donut ingredients are manufactured in Winston Salem, where Krispy Kreme started • Most important ingredient is yeast -- which makes the donut rise so it is light and puffy
Introduction continued . . . • Ingredients kept in work rooms of factory stores • Special equipment invented by Krispy Kreme’s founder, Vernon Randolph • Machinery includes mixer, extruder, proof box, conveyer belt, flipper, glaze waterfall, and cooling tunnel
History • Started in 1937 by Vernon Randolph in Old Salem (Winston Salem, North Carolina) • Used a hole in the wall of a factory store to sell to walk-in customers • Invented special mix and equipment in the 1940’s • Went international in 2001, first European store opened in 2003
Mixing • Bakers take a pre-made mix and mix it with water for the dough • Yeast, the main ingredient, is used to releases carbon dioxide creating air bubbles, making the donut less dense • Mix sent to factory stores and stored in the back room
Extruder • The extruder forms the dough into small rings • Set to make the rings to an exact size so all donuts will be the same • Different cutters can be attached to make different shapes or textures • Extruder feeds dough rings into proof box
Proof Box • Purpose is to make the yeast active and the dough rise • The heat and humidity in the box must be exact • If it gets too hot, vents open in the side • The donuts spend 15 minutes in the proofer
Frying • Donuts go onto conveyer belt that floats through oil to fry the dough • Oil is around 360 degrees Fahrenheit • After one side of the donut floats in the oil for 45 seconds, it flips it so the other side can fry • Temperature and time the donut fries must be exact
Glazing • Donuts ride under glaze waterfall • Glaze is held in the glazing waterfall reservoir and is pumped into the top of the waterfall • Extra glaze falls through into a pool under the belt
Conveyer Belt • Conveyer belt passes by the front of the store so they can sell hot donuts Cooling Tunnel • Donuts go through a cooling tunnel that cools and dries the glaze • Donuts put in boxes to be sold to grocery stores or trays to sell when the machines aren't on
Specialty Donuts • Cake donuts made with different mix and separate proofer • Filled donuts made with same dough but cut with a different cutter on the extruder • Filled at the filling station, a box holding crème or fruit and nozzles that fill the donuts
Different Kinds ! ! ! Toppings include cinnamon, chocolate, sugar, sprinkles, and powder. Fillings include blueberry, raspberry, crème, lemon, and custard
