What is donut?

A donut is a sweet, round treat that’s like a cookie with a hole in the middle.

Imagine you have a flat circle of dough, and you put it on a plate. Then you dip it into hot oil or butter and cook it until it turns golden and crispy, just like how your favorite toast becomes crunchy when it gets warm. That’s a donut!

If you bite into a donut, it's soft inside, kind of like biting into a cloud. The hole in the middle makes it easier to hold and eat without getting too messy, like how your sandwich is easier to eat when there’s no crust on both sides.

Some donuts have sprinkles or chocolate on top, just like how you add sugar to your cereal. Others are plain, but they’re still tasty, just like how some of your favorite toys don’t need stickers to be fun.
