Step-1

In the bowl of a standing mixer, add yeast, milk and 2 teaspoons sugar. Let stand 5-8 minutes, until foamy. Whisk in 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon sugar and 3 eggs. Add about half of the flour and 1 teaspoon salt to the bowl. Use a dough hook attachment to mix mixture until dough comes together.

Allow to cool abotu 10 minutes, then refrigerate overnight.

Step-5

Flour a flat surface and roll dough about 1/2″ thick. Use a 1 1/2″ round cutter to cut out donuts. Place on parchment lined baking sheets, about 1″ apart. Roll remaining dough together and repeat process to create a total of 32-36 donuts. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest about 30 minutes, until puffy.
