Deep-Fried Doughnuts

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• ¾ cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups vegetable oil
• ½ cup sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, dissolve the 1 tbsp yeast in 0.75 cup warm water and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the 2 cups flour and 1 tsp salt to the yeast mixture, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.

3. 3

   Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes, then cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

4. 4

   Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball, then poke a hole through the center to form a ring.

5. 5

   Heat the 2 cups oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the doughnuts in batches, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per batch.

6. 6

   Drain the doughnuts on paper towels, then toss in the 0.5 cup sugar while still warm. Serve immediately.
