Why do doughnuts have holes? Did bakers just run out of dough?

The hole in doughnuts isn’t just a quirk—it’s a game-changer. In the mid-1800s, American sailor Hanson Gregory claimed to have invented the hole for practical reasons. Without it, doughnuts would often be raw in the middle while overcooked on the outside. By removing the center, bakers could fry them evenly and make them the perfect crispy treat we love today.Now, every time you see that iconic ring, you can thank a hungry sailor with a genius idea.
