Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Warm water
• 2 servings Egg replacer (equivalent to 2 eggs)
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix warm water, almond milk, olive oil, vanilla extract, and prepared egg replacer. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes or until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Once risen, gently punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a doughnut cutter or two differently sized round cutters, cut out doughnuts and holes. Re-roll scraps and repeat.

Step 8

In a deep heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature.

Step 9

Fry doughnuts in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Step 10

Remove doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 11

Once slightly cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free classic fried doughnuts!
