Another name for donut is doughnut. A doughnut is a sweet, fried piece of dough. The most well known type of doughnuts is round ring shape and filled doughnut. Ring donuts look similar to a bagel with toppings on top. The filled donuts are filled with jam, or jelly, or any crème. Other flavors include strawberry, chocolate, or vanilla.

There are many historical theories about the doughnut. Some say they are introduced in North American by Dutch immigrants. These Dutch were known to increase the menu of American deserts. These deserts were cookies, pies, and cobbler. The Dutch called these doughnuts "oily cakes."

Another theory came from Hansen Gregory. He claimed to have invented the ring shaped donut. In 1847, he boarded a ship and was dissatisfied with the greasiness and raw middle of the doughnuts. While complaining about the doughnut, he punched a hole in the center and told the theory to his mother. As a chef, his mother baked the donuts and expressed it to be her son's theory.

Donuts vary from region to region. From China to Israel, donuts are serving in different styles and taste.However, there are no historical similarities between the doughnut and the bagel. Doughnut
