Ingredients:

For the donut dough:

- 500 grams of high-protein flour

- 75 grams of granulated sugar

- 11 grams of instant yeast (1 small sachet)

- 1/2 teaspoon of salt

- 2 eggs

- 125 ml of warm milk

- 75 grams of margarine or butter, melted

- Oil for frying

For topping (optional):

- Powdered sugar

- Melted chocolate

- Grated cheese

- Jam or jelly

Instructions:

1. Initial Preparation:

   - Mix the instant yeast and warm milk in a small bowl. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes or until it becomes frothy.

2. Making the Donut Dough:

   - In a large bowl, combine the high-protein flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

   - Add the eggs and the activated yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.

   - Pour in the melted margarine into the dough and knead until the dough becomes elastic and non-sticky. You can use a mixer with a dough hook for this.

   - Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.

3. Shaping and Frying the Donuts:

   - Once the dough has risen, roll it out to a thickness of 1-1.5 cm and use a donut cutter or a glass with a diameter to cut out round donuts. You can also make mini donuts by cutting smaller circles.

   - Place the cut donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow the donuts to rise again for about 30 minutes.

   - Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.

   - Fry the donuts in hot oil until both sides are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

   - Remove the donuts and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

4. Serving:

   - Once the donuts are cool, you can sprinkle them with powdered sugar, drizzle with melted chocolate, sprinkle grated cheese, or add jam or jelly according to your preference.

Enjoy your homemade soft donuts! Make sure the donuts are completely cool before adding toppings or eating.
