Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a large bowl, combine the Warm Milk, Active Dry Yeast, Granulated Sugar, and Salt. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Add the Large Egg and Melted Butter to the yeast mixture and mix well.
Gradually add the All-Purpose Flour, cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll it out to inch thickness. Use a donut cutter to cut out donuts. Place donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let rise for another 30 minutes.
While the donuts are rising, prepare the Garlic Parmesan Coating. In a small bowl, combine the Grated Parmesan Cheese, Melted Butter, minced Garlic, Garlic Powder, Italian Seasoning, and Red Pepper Flakes.
Heat the Vegetable Oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the donuts in batches for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Remove the donuts from the oil and immediately toss them in the Garlic Parmesan Coating. Serve warm.
