Ingredients
- 320 g All-purpose flour
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 50 g Caster sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 240 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 60 g Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1000 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, caster sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, warm the almond milk over low heat until it is lukewarm (about 110°F or 43°C). Do not overheat.
Step 3
Add the warm almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a sticky dough forms.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Step 6
Once doubled, gently punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface.
Step 7
Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness using a rolling pin, and cut out doughnut shapes using a doughnut cutter or two different-sized round cutters.
Step 8
Place the cut doughnuts and holes on a lightly floured baking sheet. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until slightly puffy.
Step 9
In a deep fryer or a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Step 10
Carefully lower a few doughnuts at a time into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Fry each side for about 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 11
Remove the doughnuts from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 12
Repeat the process with remaining doughnuts and holes. Once cooled slightly, you can enjoy them plain or dip them in your favorite glaze.
