Baked Donuts

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius.
2. 2
   Combine the yeast and milk in a large bowl and set aside for 5 minutes. Add the melted butter and sugar to the rest of the milk and add to the yeast mixture, mixing with a fork. Add the eggs, one by one, and beat with a fork.
3. 3
   Add the flour little by little, stirring with a wooden spoon.
4. 4
   Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead for 2-3 minutes before placing back in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place for 60 minutes, until doubled in volume.
5. 5
   Tap the bowl to deflate the dough and turn out onto a floured surface. Roll to 1 centimeter thick. Cut into circles, removing the middle with a smaller cutter, and place each onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. 6
   Cover with a dry cloth and set aside for 45 minutes. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
7. 7
   Combine the sugar and cinnamon. Dip each donut first into the melted butter and then into the sugar mixture.
