                Instructions

                1. Feed your starter by combining 50 grams starter, 100 grams warm water, and 100 grams flour.
                2. Combine 200 grams of the active starter, warm milk, sugar, butter, eggs, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon in a stand mixer.
                3. Add 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of bread flour. Mix until combined.
                4. Cover and let it rest for 30-60 minutes.
                5. Add remaining 2 cups of bread flour slowly while the mixer is running.
                6. Knead in the mixer on low for about 8 minutes.
                7. Place the dough in a bowl and cover with sprayed plastic wrap for the bulk rise.
                8. Leave dough in a warm place or fridge for the first rise.
                9. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface and roll out to about 1/2" thickness.
                10. Cut out doughnuts with a biscuit cutter, cookie cutter, or cut out shapes of choice.
                11. Place doughnuts on a baking sheet and let rise for 1-3 hours.
                12. Heat a large pot of oil and fry doughnuts until lightly golden brown, about 1 minute on each side.
                13. Toss in sugar, cinnamon sugar, the glaze, or topping of choice.
