STEP 1: PREPARE BRIOCHE DOUGH
Mix the dry ingredients: In the bowl of the mixer, combine the flour, yeast, sugar and salt.

combined.
Knead the dough: Increase the mixer speed to medium and knead the dough for about 5 minutes.
Add butter: Add the softened butter in small pieces and continue kneading until the dough is smooth,
elastic and pulls away from the sides of the bowl (about 10 minutes).First rising: Place the dough in a
greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours until it has
doubled in size.
STEP 2: SHAPING THE DONUTS
Rolling out the dough: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1cm thick.
Cut Donuts: Use a donut cutter to cut out shapes. Place the cut donuts on parchment paper, leaving
space between each donut.

minutes.STEP 3: FRY THE DONUTS
Heat the oil: In a deep fryer or heavy pot, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry donuts: Fry the donuts in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry each side until
golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
Drain: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the donuts to a cooling rack set on paper towels and drain.
STEP 4: FILLING AND GLAZING
Prepare the glaze: Mix the powdered sugar, milk (or water) and vanilla extract until smooth.Fill donuts:
Once the donuts have cooled, use a piping bag to fill them with the filling of your choice. Glaze : Dip
each donut into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off, then return to the cooling rack to harden.
