What is mochi donut dough made of? ›

Mochi donuts are commonly formed into a circular shape, consisting of eight small balls that are easy to pull apart. They are made out of glutinous rice flour or tapioca flour.

A: Mochi donut is a cross between your regular donut with Japanese mochi, a chewy rice cake. Our mochi donuts are made with tapioca flour and glutinous rice flour, coated with your favorite toppings. Q: Do you have gluten free or dairy free options?

The glutinous rice flour style uses mochiko and produces mochi donuts that are denser and more similar to Hawaiian butter mochi. Both types of mochi donuts are naturally gluten-free and have fewer calories than regular donuts.

However, you can store mochi donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They are the softest and chewiest on the first day and will slowly dry out. They do not store well in the fridge and should be kept at room temperature to prevent them from getting hard.

TIPS FOR PERFECT MOCHI DOUGHNUTS

Normal rice flour won't work in this recipe. You need glutinous rice flour for the chewy texture. If you are looking for complete gluten free dessert, skip adding all purpose flour. Fry the doughnuts in low to medium flame till it is crispy and golden.

Mochi is made of mochigome, a Japanese variety of sweet glutinous rice, that is soaked overnight, steamed, pounded into dough and molded into various shapes. Some sweet mochi confections contain fillings such as bean paste, ice cream or fresh fruit.

Traditionally, mochi is considered celebratory food and is eaten to bring good luck on special occasions. The tradition of eating and making mochi is closely tied to the cultural symbol of rice in Japanese society.

Knead the dough until smooth, cover it, and allow it to rise until doubled in size. Roll the dough out to a ½ inch thickness before using a doughnut cutter to create a shape.
