Amatuers. The hole in the donuts were created by Danish sailors. As sailors hit rough seas captains needed to use both hands to control the wheel. As a way for the captain to not lose his meal he asked the ships cook to put holes in it to place the doughnut on the knobs of the ship's wheel.
This one possible origin of the hole in the doughnut.

you understand I used to ask your self that too. I doubt the jelly crammed ones are made out of the punched out hollow. whether they are punched, they are going to like it rounded out to be a sphere. I only got here upon some thing on google (looks solutions on the two factors, i assume it relies upon on the place you flow):
