I have wanted to make doughnuts forever but thought it was really difficult. The first time I tried, they were more like dough puffs. Much better results this time.

Steps

1

Add all ingredients to a bowl if using instant yeast. Otherwise, proof the yeast in the water before adding to other ingredients.
2

Using a dough hook on your stand mixer, mix until the dough is firm and not sticking to the bowl.
3

Roll out dough into another bowl, cover and set aside until the dough is double in size.
4

After the dough has risen, place on a lightly floured surface and knead gently. Divide the dough in half, wrapping one half.
5

Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to desired thickness, then cut with a sharp cutter.
6

Place cut out dough on a baking tray and set aside to double in size.
7

In a medium pan on heat add oil for frying.
8

When the oil is hot enough, gently add your cut out dough. Flip when golden brown.
9

Sprinkle sugar or cover with a glaze if you desire. Serve
