Ingredients

• 240 ml Milk
• 57 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 360 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 100 grams Granulated sugar (for coating)
• 60 grams Melted butter (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Pour the milk and melted butter into the bread machine pan. Add the egg.

Step 2

Add the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt into the pan. Make a small well in the flour and add the instant yeast.

Step 3

Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and start it. The dough will combine, knead, and rise in the machine.

Step 4

Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 5

Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or a round cookie cutter (with a smaller cutter for the center) to cut out doughnut shapes. Re-roll scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.

Step 6

Place the doughnuts and doughnut holes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space for them to rise. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for 30–45 minutes or until puffy.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 8

Bake the doughnuts for 8–10 minutes or until they are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft.

Step 9

While the doughnuts are baking, prepare the melted butter and pour the granulated sugar for coating into a shallow bowl.

Step 10

Once the doughnuts are out of the oven, let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Brush each doughnut lightly with melted butter, then roll it in sugar to coat evenly.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Enjoy your homemade baked sugar doughnuts!
