This recipe will yield approximately 10-12 doughnuts. If you included the cut out's for each doughnut's hole, then you can also make additional doughnut holes on the side.

So here you have it, directly from Cupcake Project (check em out below!) – Homemade Krispy Kreme Doughnuts – they are deliciously dangerous 😉

Step-By-Step Directions

• Heat the milk to 100 degrees. You can do this in the microwave or on the stove top.
• Stir in the yeast until it is dissolved or close to dissolved.
• Transfer to a medium-sized bowl and mix in 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the bread flour. Stir until smooth.
• Cover the bowl (I like to use my cloth bowl covers for this) to prevent drying out and place in a warm spot to rise.
• When the batter has doubled in size (about an hour, depending on the temperature of your house), add it to a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
• Add the egg yolks, superfine sugar, and salt. Mix on low speed until smooth.
• Mix in vanilla extract and butter until smooth.
• With the mixer running, slowly add the rest of the flour (1 1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons). Keep mixing until the batter just comes together into a smooth dough. It will be quite wet and sticky, but should be able to hold together as one “lump” of dough. If not, add a bit more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
• Lift the ball of dough up and brush the bottom of the bowl lightly with vegetable oil.
• Cover the bowl again and place in a warm spot to rise.
• Once the dough has doubled in size (another hour or so), refrigerate it for 15 minutes. This will make it easier to roll out.

Once your dough is ready… it's time to get cooking!
