Let’s cook

Tap a step when it’s done.

1. 1

   Mix milk + yeast + pinch sugar → foam 5 min. Add eggs, butter, sugar, flour + salt. Mix to a soft, slightly sticky dough. Knead 6–8 min until elastic.

2. 2

   First rise: greased bowl, covered, warm place ~60 min until doubled.

3. 3

   Roll to 1.25 cm (½ in), cut rings. Second rise on tray, covered, 30–45 min until puffy.

4. 4

   Heat oil to 180°C (350°F). Fry 60–90 sec per side until pale-golden (Krispy Kreme is on the lighter side). Drain on rack.

5. 5

   Dip while hot in glaze: whisk glaze to a thin ribbon consistency; dip top then flip to coat. Let set on rack.
