Doughnuts

Ingredients 
300 gm bread flour 
200 gm plain four 
60 gm sugar 
10 gm salt 
20 gm milk powder (i use full cream milk) 
1/2 tbsp baking powder 
3 1/2 tsp instant yeast 
2 egg yolks 
280 ml cold water 
50 gm butter or shortening 

1. In a bowl, put in all ingredients except butter and salt. Mix to form a dough (about 2-3 mins). Add in salt and butter and continue to knead at high speed (for those using kitchenaid, use speed 8 or 9 and make sure you are always there to avoid the mixer from falling down the tabletop as at that type of speed the kitchenaid tend to move). Knead for about 5 mins, do the stretch test to see if dough is ready. Flour your tabletop with some bread flour, take dough out and round it up into a ball and cover with a plastic wrap for about 1 hour to rise. 

2. After 1 hr, divide dough into small portion (abt 10-15 gm per portion). Roll into a small round ball using your palm on the tabletop. For those who wants a bigger donuts instead of the mini ones, divide into bigger portion, maybe like 30 gm and do the same until you finish up all the dough. Cover it and leave it to prove for another 35 to 40 mins. 

3. Hot some oil in a pot for frying the donuts, remember oil must not be too hot or else donuts will be African donuts (chiao tak). For me as I do not want to buy donuts cutter, what I did was take a round ball of dough, poke a hole in the centre and stretch it round to form a donut shape and put in oil to fry. Fry for only a min or 2 or until golden brown. Take it out drain it and coat with castor sugar. For those who are doing the small portion type you can fry the whole round ball directly and you will have round ball ball donuts, also a hit with kids.
