8、 Level U56The Hole StoryOriginally,doughnuts were not ring shaped or topped with frosting and sprinkles.They were usually round and about the size of a walnut shell.The original doughnut was mainly based on a recipe from the Netherlands.Dutch settlers made a fried dough dessert called olykoeks(OH-le

12、nter,he had an idea.What if the hole was cut out of the dough before it was fried?Captain Gregory suggested that his doughnuts have the center removed before they were cooked.It worked!Captain Gregory improved the doughnut.However,it wasnt until World War I that doughnuts became an American passion.

16、 favorite,but they had few supplies and fewer fresh ingredients available in the countryside.The women decided to make doughnuts because they could be served cold and the ingredients were easily found.Helen and Margaret cooked late into the night.Using a small pan,they fried the doughnuts on an old
17、potbellied stove.They served 150 doughnuts the next day to the grateful soldiers.Word about the doughnuts spread quickly,and the following day a long line of soldiers waited for a warm doughnut and coffee.The doughnuts were such a success that all Salvation Army volunteers started making them!The so
