Baking Doughnuts! (w/recipe)

Heyyyy ladies, germs, and amoebas!! For Father's day I made doughnuts for the second time, so I want to share the recipe! 

I used a basic sugar doughnut recipe, but I think u could definitely add filling or make a glaze for these instead of sugar.

Recipe 

Ingredients (red=yeast concoction or whatever; blue=dough that you add the yeast to)

-1 tbsp active dry yeast

-2 tbsp warm water

-1/2 tsp sugar

-3 1/4 cups flour

-1 cup warm whole milk

-1/2 stick melted butter

-3 egg yolks

-2 tbsp sugar

-A pinch of salt

-Oil

-Bowl of sugar

Instructions

1) Add 1/2 tsp of sugar and 2 tbsp of warm water into a tall cup. Add in 1tbsp of yeast, and set somewhere warm, cover, and let rise for 5-10 minutes. 

2) While yeast is coming to life use a large bowl and add 3 1/4 cups flour, 2 tbsp sugar, and a pinch of salt. 

3) Add 3 egg yolks, yeast mixture, 1/2 stick butter, and 1 cup of warm milk to your dry ingredients and mix.

4) When the dough forms a ball but it still a bit tacky, transfer to a new bowl with butter coated on the inside. Let it rise until doubled (about 1 hour.)

5) Find something to make the dough into flat circles, I used as mason jar lid thing. Fill a large pan with oil.

6) Add the doughnuts to the oil, on medium heat. Wait until they are golden brown before flipping the doughnut. 

7) Remove the doughnut from the oil and let rest for a minute. Then coat the doughnut and transfer to a new plate!!
