Step 6
You should end up with soft dough that does not stick to your hands. Shape it into a ball in the bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and leave it undisturbed for 1 hour.

Separate pieces weighing about 50 grams from the total mass of dough. Roll each piece into a ball and press a hole in it with your finger, as in the photo.

Step 9
In a saucepan, heat a generous amount of vegetable oil over medium heat and fry the doughnuts in batches, turning them until they are an appetizing golden brown on all sides. When done, transfer the doughnuts to a kitchen towel first to absorb excess oil.
