Before we start creating these delightful twisted donuts, gather the following ingredients:

• GRANULATED SUGAR, FOR COATING

Now that you have all the ingredients ready, let’s get started with the step-by-step directions.

Directions

Step 1: Mixing the Dough

1. Begin by adding the almond milk, sugar, yeast, and egg into a large mixing bowl.
2. Mix these ingredients together until they are well combined.

Step 2: Incorporating Flour and Salt

1. Now, add the flour and salt to the mixture.
2. Use your hands to combine the ingredients and start kneading the dough.

Step 3: Kneading and Resting

1. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
2. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 4: Adding Butter

1. After resting, add the butter to the dough.
2. Use your hands to work the butter into the dough thoroughly.

Step 5: Allowing the Dough to Rise

1. Cover the bowl once again and let the dough rise for an additional hour.
2. You’ll notice it has doubled in size when it’s ready.

Step 6: Rolling and Shaping

1. Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface.
2. Aim for a thickness of about 1 inch.

Step 7: Slicing the Dough

1. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 1-inch strips.

Step 8: Creating the Twists

1. Now, the fun part – braid the dough by twisting the two ends around each other.

Step 9: Preparing for Frying

1. Place the twisted dough on a large baking sheet.
2. Pinch the ends together to seal them securely.

Step 10: Frying to Golden Perfection

1. Heat some oil in a deep frying pan until it’s hot.
2. Carefully drop the twisted dough into the hot oil.

Step 11: Coating with Sugar

1. Use two forks to flip over the donuts as they fry, ensuring both sides turn golden brown.
2. Fry until the donuts are cooked through and have a beautiful golden hue.
3. Once they’re done, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
4. While they’re still warm, coat the twisted donuts generously with granulated sugar.
