Directions
1
In a mixing bowl, add 40 g of unsalted melted butter (not too hot), 40 g of granulated sugar, half a teaspoon of salt, and one egg. Mix well.
2
Add 125 ml of lukewarm full-fat milk and mix again.
3
Add one teaspoon of instant yeast and mix until the sugar is dissolved. Cover and let it activate for 10-20 minutes.
4
Once the yeast is active, add 280 g of bread flour and mix until there's no visible flour.
5
Cover with cling film and let it proof for two hours.
6
Place the dough on a floured counter and shape it into a ball.
7
Grease a bowl with vegetable oil, place the dough inside, cover with cling film, and refrigerate overnight.
8
The next day, take the dough out of the fridge, flour your surface heavily, and roll out the dough while it's still cold.
9
Use a doughnut cutter to cut out the shapes and poke a hole in the middle of each.
10
Flour a chopping board, place the doughnut shapes, cover with cling film, and let proof for 1.5 hours.
11
Fill a large pot with sunflower or vegetable oil and heat it to 170°C (338°F).
12
Fry the doughnuts for around two minutes on each side and place them on a cooling rack.
13
For the glaze, mix 75 g of melted unsalted butter, 3 tbsp of full-fat milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 250 g of icing sugar.
14
Coat the doughnuts in the glaze and place them on a cooling rack.
