Ingredients
Check off items as you gather them- 1 cup warm milk (105-1150F)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 teaspoon
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil or non-stick spray, for greasing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Method / Preparation
Follow step-by-step instructions- In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the yeast mixture. Whisk well to combine.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
- Lightly grease a clean bowl with vegetable oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turn it once to coat, then cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, gently punch down the dough. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a donut cutter or two different-sized round cutters (e.g., 3-inch and 1-inch) to cut out donut shapes. Reroll scraps and cut more donuts.
- Place the cut donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Cover loosely with the kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until visibly puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 375F (190C). Bake the donuts for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the edges and cooked through.
- While the donuts are baking, prepare a simple glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the donuts are slightly cooled but still warm, dip each donut into the glaze, letting any excess drip off. Place them on a wire rack to set. Serve warm and enjoy!
