OUR HERITAGE
MORE THAN
A TASTY STORY
Sometimes things are so good that everyone wants them. Over a century ago, two bakers in Jackson, Michigan (USA) discovered that their donuts became so famous that everyone wanted the recipe. But instead of giving it away, these clever entrepreneurs put a ready to make donut mix on the market so that bakers throughout the country could make the tastiest donuts themselves. This was the start of the Dawn Donut Company, a family run company. Over a century later, we still produce that famous donut mix and our range of donut ingredients has since expanded so that bakers and manufacturers can turn to us for any donut solution.

Our experts’ insights ON THE DONUTS CHANGING LANDSCAPE “Over the past 20 years, I have witnessed the Donut landscape in Europe evolve and advance at an impressive speed. When I started working at Dawn in 1998, donuts were an ‘exotic cake’, not known by many people.” Herman Eikemper Senior International Application Manager
“Over recent years, donuts have experienced a revamp and grown in popularity. This can be seen by the opening of a number of multinational donut franchises and independent donut shops that continue to expand their presence across Europe.” Alexandre Deschamps International Application Manager
KNOWLEDGE & INNOVATION Innovation can be breakthrough, or something small that has an impact. That’s what drives us at Dawn: innovation that makes a difference big or small. We are committed to innovation that matters to you and what impacts the lives of your customers. It is baked into our legacy of developing products and solutions that enable you to work smarter and better meet consumer needs. Building on that heritage, our R&D teams have developed several innovations in the donut landscape: As the vegan trend is here to stay, we have created a great performing new Dawn Balance® Vegan Donut Mix: • Suitable for vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian diets • Amazing taste and texture, better than making from scratch • Excellent moisture keeping and shelf life properties
Products with a longer shelf life are a great solution for reducing waste. Traditionally though, longer shelf life products have impacted taste and quality. Not anymore. We have developed specific mixes to make donuts that remain fresh longer after baking, while maintaining the same delicious taste and texture. Our Dawn Exceptional® Non-Sticky Donut Glaze is a
breakthrough innovation that delivers perfectly glazed donuts, even when packaged. A product designed to: • Improve the appeal of packaged glazed donuts: no more stickiness and mess • Work very well on large industrial scale donut production lines • Extend the shelf life and freshness of the donut • Answer to the rising demand for individually packaged products Our latest addition, the Dawn Exceptional® Pak Perfect Non-Sticky Icing is now completing the Pak Perfect range (read more on page 13).
The latest addition to our donut offering is the Strawberry Cake Donut Mix. With a cakier and sturdier texture and a signature star shape in the center, it will offer a new texture experience to consumers in an all time favourite flavour (see page 11 for more details).

Cake donut batter is mixed 2-3 minutes with a paddle to incorporate ingredients
Only resting time (no fermentation time) 10-15min
Batter is placed in a hopper and deposited through a plunger
Fresh donuts can be ready for consumption in about 20 minutes
YEAST RAISED DONUT • Leavened by yeast
• Soft & airy texture
PREPARATION (2 ½ hours):
Yeast raised dough is mixed 10-12 minutes to develop gluten in the dough
Dough is fermented, sheeted and cut
Dough is proofed before frying
Fresh donuts can be ready for consumption in about 2 ½ hours
YEAST AND CAKE DONUTS VARIETIES
DONUT VARIETIES From yeast raised to cake donuts, discover the broad variety of applications to build a creative offering. Yeast raised donut mixes offer great versatility in making different formats and shapes: rings, long Johns, holes, twists, honeymooners, danish, fritters and so on...
Rings
Twists & pershings Long johns & bismarks
Plain
Cake donuts are great for mini formats and the dough can be flavoured and coloured. To keep a good, strong flavour, it is best to have the flavour already added to the mix. With our mixes you will not get flavour transfer in the oil and you don’t need to worry about getting the right ratio without impacting the performance of the dough or the flavour strength.
