1

Add 5 cups of bread flour or all-purpose flour to a large bowl.

2

Add 1/2 cup of sugar and 4 cups of milk powder to the bowl.

3

Add 1 tbsp of yeast and 1/2 tbsp of salt, ensuring they don't come into contact.

4

Mix the dry ingredients together until combined.

5

Add 2 eggs and 6 g of butter (equivalent to 4 cups) to the dry mixture.

6

Pour in 1 and 4 cup of water and mix to form a dough.

7

Knead the dough using a stand mixer for 30 minutes, or by hand for 1 to 1.5 hours.

8

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for an additional 20 minutes until stretchy.

9

Add oil to a bowl, place the dough in it, cover, and let it rest for 1 hour to proof and double in size.

10

After 1 hour, punch down the dough and transfer it back to the floured surface.

11

Flatten the dough and cut it into pieces, measuring each piece to 75 g.

12

Shape each piece into a round doughnut, sealing the ends well to prevent them from opening during frying.

13

Flatten the shaped doughnuts slightly and place them on a baking tray, sprinkling flour on top.

14

Allow the doughnuts to sit for an additional 30 minutes to double in size again.

15

Check the oil temperature by sprinkling flour into it; it should bubble but not be too hot.

16

Fry the doughnuts on low heat, flipping them to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning.

17

Fry until golden brown, ensuring the insides are cooked through by maintaining low heat.
