    So that the dough is cooked evenly.

    Think about it: if you had no hole

    then the center of the doughnut would not cook as quickly as the outer edge of the doughnut

    and you'd have to cook longer to make sure the center of the doughnut was cooked

    possibly OVERcooking the outside of the doughnut.

    With the hole

    the dough is basically a circle (tube)

    that can be cooked evenly and quickly from all sides.

    Ask in the food section, if this is really important enough to you to post again.
