Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 500g all-purpose flour
  • 60g granulated sugar
  • 10g salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 180g warm whole milk

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dough: In a stand mixer, combine starter, flour, sugar, salt, eggs, and milk. Knead until combined, then add butter and vanilla. Mix until dough is smooth and stretchy.
  2. Bulk Ferment Overnight: Transfer dough to an oiled bowl. Cover and ferment in the fridge overnight (8–12 hours).
  3. Shape Donuts: Let dough sit at room temp for 1 hour. Roll to ½-inch thickness, then cut donuts using cutters.

  5. Fry: Heat oil to 350°F. Fry donuts 1–2 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to paper towel-lined rack.
