Ingredients

4 servings

For the dough

½ cup warm water (105–110°f / 40–43°c)
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
2 tbsp organic cane sugar, divided
½ cup unsweetened plant-based milk, warmed
2 tbsp vegan butter, melted and cooled slightly
½ tsp fine salt
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

For frying

4 cups neutral oil (such as canola oil or vegetable oil), for frying

For serving

1 cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1
Combine the warm water, 1 tsp of the sugar, and the yeast in a large mixing bowl. Stir once and let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.
2
Add the warmed plant-based milk, melted vegan butter, remaining sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Add the flour in two additions, stirring after each, until a shaggy dough forms.
