Perfect Yeast Doughnuts (Donut Recipe with 3 Fillings)

Roll out the Dough and cut
Once the dough has risen, place it on a floured surface and knead lightly. Divide it in half, keeping half the dough covered, so it doesn’t form a skin.

With a rolling pin, roll out half of the dough to about 1/2″ thickness. (Do not rest the dough.)

Cut with a round, sharp doughnut cutter (about 3″ diameter). Or else use a sharp cookie cutter, then make the holes with a smaller cookie cutter (about 1″ diameter), saving the holes. This is an older photo, I recommend this cutter.
