Donuts
Hello, I'm new to this community and really don't know if I'm in the right area to ask a question. I made some yeast donuts over the weekend. They rose beautifully. I tested after the 1st proof and dough was fine. Made the donuts proofed again and they looked good. Then they fell after a few minutes as I was frying them (before I put them in the oil). Can anyone provide any information on what I did wrong. They tasted good.

... very recently, falling in a very similar way to what you describe, and in their case they had too much yeast in their recipe.
It could also be that you're waiting so patiently when proofing that it ends up going too far. Maybe catching it when it's just barely done, and not waiting for it to be "good and done", could help.
