The amazing people behind our donuts
The people of Special D Baking are hired and trained specifically to produce donuts. They understand the process and are required to work from the start (mixing), to the picking (sheeting), to the feeding (frying), and finally to the packaging (freezing).

The average employee has been with Special D Baking for seven years, their commitment to our company helps ensure that the high quality of our product is maintained and that problems get solved before the become complaints.
The Process
How we make magic happen
At Special D Baking we mix four bags of flour at a time. The dough is then headed out in equal portions that are allowed to table ferment. This process ensures proper mixing times, thorough mixing, and time for the donut to form properly. The individual heads are then sheeted, cut and handpicked.The blast freezing process freezes the shell or skin of the donut first as it is bombarded with -40 degree F air. Then, as the product continues through the tunnel, it is frozen to the core. This traps the moisture in the product and thereby maintains the quality and freshness.
