Combine yeast and warm water in a bowl; let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and eggs.

In another bowl, whisk together milk and melted butter.

Add the yeast mixture to the egg mixture; stir to combine.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients; mix until a dough forms.

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

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Punch down the dough; roll it out to about 1-inch thickness.

Cut into circles using a biscuit cutter; place on a floured surface to rise for another 30 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the doughnuts in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels; roll in powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar while warm.
