Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and dry yeast.
2
Pour the warm milk into the dry ingredients, then add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3
Mix the ingredients together, then knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.
4
Gently knead in the finely chopped toasted sunflower seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1 cm. Use a glass or doughnut cutter to cut out circles.
7
Place the cut-out doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
8
In a large pot, heat the oil to about 340°F (170°C). Test the oil by dropping in a doughnut; if it immediately rises to the surface and gently bubbles, the oil is ready.
9
Fry the doughnuts for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
10
Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, drizzle them with honey and sprinkle with extra toasted sunflower seeds for a crunchy texture.
