Directions

1. 1

   Pour the milk into a bowl, add the crumbled yeast and mix with the milk. Add a quarter of the flour and 1 teaspoon of sugar and stir into a very soft pre-dough. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the rest of the flour, sugar, eggs, oil and salt to the pre-dough and chain everything well. Cover the dough and let it rise for another 20 minutes, then knead it again.

3. 3

   Place the dough on a floured work surface, form a roll and cut into 16 equal slices. Press the slices of dough evenly flat and cut a hole in the middle (with a cookie cutter approx. 3 cm in diameter) to form rings.

4. 4

   Place the rings on a floured surface and let them rise for another 20 minutes.

   Heat the oil in a pot or deep fryer to 180°C. Place donuts in portions in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides.

6. 6

   Drain donuts on the kitchen paper and when they are cold, dust with icing sugar or cover with chocolate icing.
