Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Warm water
- 2 servings Egg replacer (equivalent to 2 eggs)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix warm water, almond milk, olive oil, vanilla extract, and prepared egg replacer. Stir to combine.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Once risen, gently punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Using a doughnut cutter or two differently sized round cutters, cut out doughnuts and holes. Re-roll scraps and repeat.
In a deep heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature.
Fry doughnuts in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Remove doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Once slightly cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free classic fried doughnuts!
