Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

Shape Doughnuts
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a doughnut cutter to cut out shapes and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

Fry Doughnuts
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the doughnuts in batches, about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
