Doughnuts recipe

1. Add Flour and Salt: Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
2. First Rise: Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
3. Roll and Cut Doughnuts: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a doughnut cutter or two differently sized round cutters, cut out doughnuts and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
4. Heat Oil: Meanwhile, heat oil in a large, deep pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (180°C).
5. Fry Doughnuts: Carefully fry the doughnuts in batches, turning once, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
6. Make Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk or water, and vanilla extract until smooth.
7. Glaze Doughnuts: While the doughnuts are still warm, dip them into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them back on the wire rack to set.
8. Serve: Serve the homemade doughnuts warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these delicious treats with your favorite coffee or tea!
