Directions

  1. Prepare the bread dough. ≈ 3 min
  2. At the end of the process, add a small amount of vodka or brandy to the oil. This will help prevent the doughnuts from absorbing too much oil paint during frying.
  3. Once the dough has risen sufficiently, place it on a floured board and cut it with a round glass.
  4. Place a small amount of jam or chocolate in the center. ≈ 3 min
  5. Cover with another round, making sure the edges are well sealed. ≈ 3 min
  6. Place the doughnuts on a floured board and let them rise for a moment in a warm place.
  7. Preheat the oil paint and place the doughnuts with the “rounded” side facing up, then cover them.
  8. Turn and fry the other side without a lid.
  9. Place the doughnuts on paper towels to absorb any excess grease. ≈ 3 min
  10. Place the doughnuts in a large dish and sprinkle them with powdered sugar. ≈ 2 min
