Soft Pumpkin Donuts

I made these donuts to use up leftover pumpkin I bought for plating with @aop_indonesia. It would be a shame to waste it.
Tips for making donuts:
▫️Make sure the yeast is still active.
▫️To get the white ring, knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic (if you stretch the dough, it won't break).
▫️Avoid over-proofing, as the donuts may puff up too much when fried but will wrinkle after being removed from the oil.
▫️Adjust the water as needed, depending on the flour's moisture.
▫️Dust your hands with flour if the dough feels sticky.

Steps
- 1
Prepare all the ingredients.
- 2
In a bowl, combine all ingredients except the butter and salt.
- 3
Mix until halfway smooth, then add the butter and salt.
- 4
Mix again until smooth and elastic (you can also knead by hand). Shape the dough into a ball, grease a bowl with oil, and place the dough in it. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean cloth.
- 5
Let it rest for 1 hour or until it doubles in size, then deflate it.
- 6
Transfer to a silicone mat and knead briefly.
- 7
Flatten and cut into pieces. I made 9 pieces, each about 2 ounces (55 grams), and shaped them into balls.
- 8
Place on baking paper dusted with flour to prevent sticking. Let rise again for about 15 minutes (be careful not to over-proof). I put them in a container and covered it to prevent the dough from drying out.
- 9
Once risen, press the tops slightly to flatten.
- 10
Punch holes with a donut cutter; I used the end of a piping nozzle.
- 11
Fry in hot oil over medium heat until cooked, turning only once to avoid absorbing too much oil.
- 12
Remove and drain, then add your preferred topping. I just dusted them with powdered sugar.
- 13
Soft and delicious.
- 14
Texture after one day.
- 15
Texture after two days (left at room temperature) is still soft but not as tender as the first day.
