The hole in the doughnut has been attributed to the Pennsylvania Dutch who
punched holes in the original Dutch 'olykoeks'. The hole has also been
attributed to a New England sea captain, Hanson Gregory, who, in 1847
punched holes in the dough because his mother's doughnuts were not cooked in
the center. Neither of them were the first to have thought of the idea
though. Archaeologists have found petrified fried cakes with holes in them in
the southwestern U.S. in prehistoric Native American ruins. So doughnuts have
been invented more than once.
