Making Process

Prepare the Dough

Mix wheat flour, sugar, water, yeast, salt, and a little vegetable oil together.
Combine until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.

2. Knead the Dough

Knead the dough by hand or machine until it becomes smooth, stretchy, and elastic.
This helps the doughnut rise properly and stay soft.

3. First Rise (Proofing)

Place the dough in a warm area and let it rise until it doubles in size.
This usually takes about 1 hour, depending on temperature.

4. Shape the Doughnuts

Roll the dough out gently.
Cut into ring shapes (or form balls if making round doughnuts).
Place them on trays lined with baking paper.

5. Second Rise

Let the shaped doughnuts rise again until puffy and light.
This makes them soft and airy after frying.

6. Frying

Heat oil in a fryer or deep pan.
Fry the doughnuts on both sides until golden brown.
Remove and drain on a rack or paper to remove excess oil.

7. Glazing

While still warm, dip the doughnuts into a simple sugar glaze
(made from sugar and water).

8. Adding Sugar Strands

Before the glaze dries, sprinkle sugar strands so they stick to the surface.
Let them set for a few minutes.
