| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare all ingredients. We use several ROSE BRAND products like margarine, sugar, Maizena, and cooking oil for consistent quality. |
| 2 | In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour, Maizena, milk powder, egg, sugar, and instant yeast. Mix evenly. Gradually add cold milk or water until the dough reaches a proper consistency. |
| 3 | Knead the dough by hand or with a mixer until smooth and elastic. Once smooth, add salt and margarine and continue kneading. |
| 4 | Continue kneading until the dough passes the “windowpane test” — when stretched thin, it doesn’t tear easily. This means the dough is ready. |
| 5 | Divide the dough into 14 portions, each weighing about 35 grams or adjust to your preference. |
| 6 | Shape each portion into a smooth, tight ball (rounding). Cover with a clean cloth and let rest for 30 minutes. |
| 7 | After resting, take one dough ball, press gently to release gas, then form a hole in the center using your fingers or a cutter. The hole can be larger or smaller depending on your preference. |
| 8 | Place the shaped dough on parchment paper to prevent sticking during frying. Cover again with a cloth and proof for about 40 minutes, or until the dough doubles in size. |
| 9 | Heat enough ROSE BRAND cooking oil in a large pan over low heat until hot. Fry the donuts one at a time until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. |
| 10 | Once cool, dust the donuts generously with ROSE BRAND powdered sugar. |
| 11 | Serve immediately and enjoy the soft, airy texture combined with a sweet touch of sugar. |
