Mix warm water and yeast in a bowl until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add coconut milk, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

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

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small balls.

Shape each ball into a ring, ensuring the center is hollow.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

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

Remove the donuts and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds while still warm.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
