Ingredients

Doughnuts:

  • 1 ½ cups whole milk, warmed to 110°F
  • 1 Tablespoon active dry yeast, or instant yeast
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar (38 g)
  • 1 large egg, room temp
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour (520 g)
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter (84 g), softened, room temperature
  • vegetable oil, for frying

Cinnamon Sugar:

  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 g)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Doughnuts: In the bowl of stand mixer, combine milk, yeast, and sugar. Allow mixture to sit for 5 minutes. Whisk in egg until incorporated.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Attach dough hook attachment to stand mixer. With the mixer running on low, add 1/3 of flour mixture. Once dough starts to come together, add another 1/3 of flour mixture. Add softened butter one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. At this point, the dough will be sticky. Scrape down bowl as needed to ensure thorough mixing. Add remaining 1/3 of flour mixture.
  3. Once dough starts to form, increase mixer speed to medium. Knead for 3-5 minutes until dough is smooth and soft. Dough may still stick to the sides of the bowl, but it should be easy to scrape using a spatula or dough scraper. Transfer dough to a large greased bowl. Cover and allow dough to rest for 30-45 minutes until doubled in volume.
  4. Deflate risen dough, divide into 12 parts, roll each into a 14-inch strip, twist, and fry in oil until golden brown.
  5. Cinnamon Sugar: Combine sugar and cinnamon in a dish. Toss warm doughnuts in mixture.

Notes

  • These doughnuts are best eaten fresh.
  • For a different twist pattern, try folding and braiding the dough.
