Directions
- 1Activate the yeast by combining lukewarm milk, half of the sugar (15 grams), and active dry yeast (5 grams). Let sit for 10-15 minutes until foamy.
- 2In a large bowl, mix together bread flour, remaining sugar, and salt.
- 3Once yeast is foamy, add eggs to the yeast mixture, and then combine the wet and dry ingredients.
- 4Knead the dough for 4-5 minutes using a dough mixer, then gradually add soft unsalted butter and continue kneading for another 15 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- 5Let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it doubles in size.
- 6Once doubled, punch down the dough, roll it out to 1/2 inch thickness, and cut out donut shapes using a donut cutter and a smaller cutter for the holes.
- 7Place cut donuts on a lined tray for a second rise of at least one hour until puffy.
- 8Heat oil to 150-160°C.
- 9Fry donuts in small batches for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- 10Place donuts on a wire rack to drain excess oil. While still warm, roll in granulated sugar for sugar-coated donuts or let cool slightly before glazing.
