Measure 1 cup of whole milk and heat it to 105-110°F.

Add 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar to the milk and stir.

Sprinkle 2 packets of active dry yeast over the milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

In a separate bowl, measure 4.5 cups of all-purpose flour and add 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Mix together.

Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in the microwave and set aside.

In another bowl, combine the frothy yeast mixture, 50 grams of sugar, 2 large eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

After rising, punch down the dough and roll it out to about 3/4 inch thick.

Use circle cookie cutters to cut out donut shapes and place them on parchment paper.

Cover the donuts loosely and let them rise for another 40 minutes in a warm place.

Heat oil for frying and deep fry the donuts until golden brown.

Remove donuts from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Mix powdered sugar with water to create a glaze and dip the donuts in it.
