Instructions 

1. Mix all the dough ingredients [A] and knead until the dough comes together smoothly.

2. Place the bowl in the fermenter and proof at 30°C (86°F) for 60 minutes.

3. Remove the bowl from the fermenter and gently press the dough to release gas.

4. Divide the dough into 21–22 pieces (approximately 50 g each). Cover the pieces with a damp cloth and let them rest for 15 minutes.

5. Flatten each piece of dough and place 30 g of sweet red bean paste in the center. Wrap the dough completely around the filling, sealing it well.

 

6. Place the shaped dough pieces back into the fermenter and proof at 35°C (95°F) for 50 minutes.

7. Heat 4 cm of vegetable oil in a large pot to 180°C (356°F). Fry the donuts for about 2 minutes on one side, then flip and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes in total.

8. Dust the donuts with granulated sugar. Enjoy!

For variation, you can also fill the donuts with sweet potato paste or fresh cream for a sweeter option.
