step by step

Method

  1. Activate the yeast

    • In a bowl, mix the warm milk, brown sugar and yeast.
    • Let sit until frothy.
    Step 1

  2. Make the dough

    • Add the melted butter, pumpkin puree, egg and egg yolk, then mix until combined.
    • Knead in the flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice until a smooth dough ball forms.
    • If the dough is hard to knead, avoid adding more flour: oil your work surface and hands with olive oil, or let the dough rest for 10 minutes and try again.
    Step 2

  3. Let the dough rise

    • Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it and let it rise until doubled in size.
    Step 3

  4. Shape the donuts

    • Roll out the dough and cut out the donut shapes, using a large cup and a piping tip for the middle.
    • Place them on a lined baking sheet, leaving 1-2 inches between each donut and the sides.
    Step 4

  5. Second rise

    • Let the donuts rise again.
    • Cut the parchment paper around each donut into squares.
    Step 5

  6. Fry the donuts

    • Place each donut into the hot oil and slide out the parchment paper, without prying the donut off.
    • Fry on both sides until golden brown.
    • Take out and place on a drying rack.
    Step 6

  7. Cinnamon sugar topping

    • Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
    • Coat the donuts in the mixture and enjoy.
