yeast donut

Risen fried dough

A yeast donut is a donut leavened with yeast rather than baking powder, giving it a lighter, airier texture than its cake-style counterpart.

The dough requires time to rise before frying, resulting in a chewier, bread-like quality.

Glazed donuts and filled varieties like jelly donuts are typically yeast donuts.
