Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 piece Large egg
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 cup Powdered sugar or glaze (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water, and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Set aside to cool to lukewarm.

Step 2

Add the lukewarm milk mixture, egg, flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Step 3

Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and start. This typically takes 1.5–2 hours, including mixing, kneading, and the first rise.

Step 4

Once the dough cycle is complete, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness.

Step 5

Using a doughnut cutter or two round cutters (one large and one small), cut out doughnut shapes. Place the doughnuts (and doughnut holes) on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 6

Cover the doughnuts with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Carefully drop 2–3 doughnuts into the hot oil at a time. Fry for 1–2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining doughnuts and doughnut holes, ensuring the oil temperature stays consistent.

Step 10

If desired, dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar or dip them in your favorite glaze while still warm.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy fresh homemade doughnuts!
