Bear Creek Donuts

Happy National Donut Day! Here's a look behind-the-scenes of the donut making process at Bear Creek Donuts in Miamisburg and The Donut Haus Bakery in Springboro. Top sellers at Bear Creek Donuts are apple fritters and yeast rings (sprinkled with Oreo, Fruity Pebbles or maple bacon). Apple fritters and sour cream donuts are the top sellers at The Donut Haus Bakery. National Donut Day was started in 1938 by the Salvation Army to honor their Salvation Army Donut Lassies aka Donut Girls, volunteers who made fresh donuts during World War I for American soldiers serving in France.
