Donut dough

Instructions
- Dry ingredients - In a bowl combine flour, salt, pumpkin spice, and grated nutmeg. Combine well500 g Bread flour, 1 tsp Pumpkin spice, ¼ tsp Nutmeg, 1/2 tsp Salt
- Wet ingredients - In the bowl of a stand mixer with the hook attachment, combine warm milk (110°F), yeast, sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, butter, and vanilla extract.120 ml Warm milk (110F), 9 g Instant dry yeast, 30 g Sugar, 100 g Egg, 120 g Pumpkin puree, 60 g Unsalted butter, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- Wet to dry - Add the flour mixture to the yeast egg mixture and combine on medium-high until all the flour is incorporated. Then, knead on medium speed for 6 to 8 minutes.
- Bowl - Transfer to an oiled bowl seam side down. Coat the surface with oil to prevent drying. Cover with a clean kitchen cloth or plastic wrap.
- Rise - Leave to rise in a warm place for 60 to 90 minutes or until it doubles in volume.
- Cut - Transfer to a well-dusted work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll to about 1/4 inch thickness. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter cut out as many discs as you can. Then use a 1/2 inch cookie cutter to make the center hole. Alternatively, you can also use a donut cutter.
- Tray - Transfer the donuts to a baking tray that has been lined with parchment paper and dusted with flour.
- Proof - Cover with a plastic wrap or clean kitchen cloth and let them proof until double in size about 45 to 60 minutes.
- Deep fry - Pour oil into a heavy pot or deep fryer and bring to about 350°F (165C°). I like to use my Dutch oven. Cook the donuts on each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and drop them on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Pro Tip - Fry them between 350°F and 365°F. Too low and the donuts will soak up oil, too high and the donuts become too dark but still underdone inside. I highly recommend using a thermometer.1 ltr Cooking oil
- Cinnamon sugar - Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a small tray or bowl. Once you fry them, drop them immediately in a mixture of cinnamon sugar, or later brush melted butter for an even coverage.200 g Sugar, 2 tbsp Ground cinnamon
