Size Doughnut
The Size Doughnut is a special doughnut that's an extra-large version of the traditional American doughnut. This huge sweet treat is perfect for family breakfasts or special occasions. To achieve a soft, airy texture, the dough requires a longer rising time, making it even lighter after baking. Many bakeries and coffee shops in the United States offer extra-large doughnuts, which are often decorated with chocolate glaze or powdered sugar. If you like impressive sized pastries, you should definitely try this recipe!

Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and dry yeast.
2
Add the warm milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Start mixing the dough until it begins to come together.
3
Melt the butter and gradually add it to the dough while continuously kneading until you get a smooth, elastic dough.
4
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1.5-2 cm (approximately 0.6-0.8 inches) thick, for larger, airier doughnuts.
6
Use a large cookie cutter or glass to cut out large circles. Then, use a smaller cutter to cut out the center holes.
7
In a deep pot, heat the oil to 350°F (180°C). Test the oil temperature with a small piece of dough – if it immediately floats to the top and gently fries, the oil is ready.
8
Fry the doughnuts for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot, as the larger doughnuts require more space.
9
Remove the fried doughnuts and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil, then let them cool slightly.
10
Generously sprinkle with powdered sugar, or dip in chocolate glaze for the perfect finish.
