Combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 6 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of yeast in a bowl and mix well.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.

Gradually add about 1 cup of water, mixing with a wooden spoon until a soft, sticky dough forms.

Knead the dough with your hands until it is soft and sticky, adjusting water as needed to achieve the right consistency.

Cover the dough and place it in a warm area to rise for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until doubled in size.

After the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface.

Knead the dough for 3 to 5 minutes, adding flour as necessary to prevent sticking.

Roll out the dough to about 1 centimeter thick and cut into doughnut shapes using a glass or cup and a plastic bottle top for the holes.

Cover the cut doughnuts with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 15 to 20 minutes.

Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat, testing the temperature with a small piece of dough.

Carefully slide in the doughnut pieces, ensuring not to crowd the pan, and fry until golden brown, flipping them to cook evenly.

Once golden brown on both sides, remove the doughnuts and let them drain on paper towels.
