- In a lightly oiled bowl, add the dough and cover lightly with a tea towel. Place the bowl in a warm spot to rise for 1 hour.
- Once risen, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll to 1/4 of an inch thick. Use a 3-inc round cutter and stamp out 8 doughnutes. Use a 1-inch round cutter to stamp out the middle of each doughnut.
