It was Captain Hanson Crockett Gregory who the invented - of the donut/doughnut with a hole in the middle.

Dunkin' Donuts was founded by William Rosenberg- the food-franchising pioneer. In 1948, in Quincy, Massachusetts, he opened the Open Kettle -his first coffee and doughnut shop. In 1950, he changed it to Dunkin' Donuts . However, it was the Salvation Army who takes credits for its popularity as they started Donut Day in Chicago in honour of all ladies that prepared donuts for thousands of soildiers in WW!. Certainly, a lot of history in the bite of a donut!

Answer 3

Possible origins:

Doughnuts have a disputed history. One theory is that they were introduced into North America by Dutch settlers, who are responsible for popularizing other desserts, including cookies, cream pie, and cobbler.

Another story credits the invention of the doughnut hole to a Danish sea captain named Hanson Gregory. During a particularly violent storm, Gregory needed both hands free to man the wheel of his ship, and impaled a fried cake upon the wheel, creating the signature hole. The center of fried cakes were notorious for being undercooked, so the innovation stuck. By cooking fried cakes with the center hole, the surface area increased, and the doughnut cooked faster.

Another possible origin has the dessert's invention as part of the story of Hanukkah. Called sufganiyot, Jews make these pastries (and other oily foods like latkes) to remind them of the sacramental oil that was used to light the six-branched Menorah in the Temple.
