Steps

• Dissolve the yeast in a bit of milk, taken from the total needed for the recipe, at room temperature.

• Chop the citrus zests with sugar, add the egg and yogurt, and mix well.

• Pour the flour into a bowl, add the yeast, the entire mixture of eggs, sugar, yogurt, and aromas, and mix.

• Add the softened butter in pieces and start kneading.

• Add the salt, orange juice, and milk gradually until you get a soft but not too sticky dough; if no more milk is needed, do not add it.

• If you’re using a mixer, you might need to reduce the amount of milk.

• Take the dough, move to the work surface, form a rectangle with your hands, and bring the short side to the center, cover with the other short side, turn the dough, form a ball, and let it rest in a bowl covered with plastic wrap.

• Let the dough rest for 2 hours, then take it and repeat the folding process again and let it rest for another hour.

• After the time has passed, take the dough and divide it into 6 or 8 pieces, as you prefer.

• Place the donuts on individual pieces of parchment paper and cover with a cloth for 20 minutes (you can let them rest in the turned-off oven).

• Heat plenty of oil in a pan or saucepan and drop the donuts one or two at a time with all the paper, which will come off immediately when in contact with the oil.

• Cook until golden on both sides. If the oil becomes too hot, lower or turn off the heat, which should remain medium-low, let the temperature drop, then turn it back on.

• If the oil is too hot, you risk cooking them too much outside and not enough inside.

• Drain on kitchen paper and roll in granulated sugar.
