Description
Poi doughnuts are a modern Hawaiian creation: the traditional poi (fermented taro paste) is incorporated into a yeasted doughnut dough, producing a purple-tinged, slightly tangy, tender doughnut. The poi adds moisture and a subtle taro flavour. Kamehameha Bakeryʻs poi glazed doughnut is the benchmark. This is the modern Hawaiian approach: take the most ancient ingredient (taro/poi) and put it in a modern format (doughnut).
