STEP 3
Put the dough in a bowl and cover so the dough rises, leave this for 2 hours. Once risen, roll the dough in your palms, making 10 balls that resemble doughnuts. Place on a baking tray covered with parchment paper. When they rise and double in size, fry in oil at 350° F. Take the doughnuts out from the oil & let them cool down on absorbent paper for few minutes.
