Yeast Proofing method :

Dissolve the sugar into the hot water. Once the mixture become warm (lukewarm), add in the dry yeast and stir well. Set aside the mixture about 10 minutes. You will notice that the mixture become as creamy foam. It means the yeast worked out well. If the mixture doesn’t arise as creamy foam (still watery), it means the yeast proofing didn’t work and you have to redo this process again. This is a must step to follow.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surfaced work board for about 5- 8 minutes. Or you may knead the dough on the same mixing bowl itself. Add some flour if you noticed that the dough is too sticky. The fine dough should not be too dry or too sticky either. It should be soft and supple. Once done, place the dough in the same mixing bowl and cover it up with cloth or lid. Set in a warm place till it rise double the size.

Transfer  the dough into floured work board. Gently roll out to 1-1.5 cm thickness . Leave the rolled dough for about 5 minutes to rest and then start cutting the doughnuts with a cutter.  (The doughnut cutter must be floured). Dust some flour whenever required, but do not add too much as well as it will change the ratio of the original recipe.
