Ingredients:

• 500g flour (type 45)
• 2 eggs
• 18g fresh yeast
• 50g butter
• 3-4 tablespoons of sugar
• A pinch of salt
• 205 ml of milk
• 1 sachet of vanilla sugar

Instructions:

1. Start by dissolving the fresh yeast in the lukewarm milk. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it starts to bubble and become foamy.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, vanilla sugar and eggs. Start mixing everything together and knead the dough for about 5 minutes to develop its texture.
3. Add the softened butter to the dough and knead it again for another 5 minutes until the butter is completely incorporated and the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours. The dough should roughly double in volume during this time.
5. Once the dough has risen, divide it into smaller portions. At this point you will need to prepare a well-floured surface, as the dough will be quite sticky. Gently squeeze the air out of the dough (a process called “degassing”) before shaping it into twists, as shown in the video guide.
6. For cooking, heat the oil in a deep frying pan. Fry the donuts by carefully placing them in the oil and turning them once they are golden brown on one side. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
7. Remove the fried donuts from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Immediately sprinkle them with sugar while they’re still warm for a sweet finish.

Enjoy these delicious, freshly made twisted donuts with a sprinkle of sugar, a drizzle of chocolate, or just as is!
