Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk (warmed to about 90 degrees)
  • 1 egg
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)

Instruction

  • Mix together 3 cups of the flour and the remaining ingredients until a shaggy dough forms. Dust a countertop with flour and knead the dough, working in the remaining 1/2 cup of flour as needed, until you get a smooth and supple ball of dough.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 2 hours or until doubled.
  • Punch down dough and roll it out on a floured countertop to about 1/4 inch. Cut out doughnuts, and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather scraps, reroll, and cut until finished.
  • Cover doughnuts and let rise 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Bake at 350°F for 15-18 minutes, until golden.
