Method
- Mix yeast and water together with half of the sugar, set aside to bubble.
- Place the rest of the ingredients including the rest of the sugar in a bowl. Once yeast has proofed, add it to the rest of the ingredients and mix to form the dough.
- Set aside to rise.
- Once dough has risen, gently knead it and divide it into 24 pieces.
- For doughnuts filled with a solid like chocolate, place it in the centre of a piece of dough and gather the edges together to seal it into a ball. For doughnuts filled with a liquid like jam it is best for them to be filled after frying, therefore just roll the dough into a ball and set aside for the second rise.
- Allow the balls of dough to rise again while the oil heats up.
- Deep fry in oil on both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Once removed from oil, roll in the sugar.
- Fill with filling if desired.
