These fluffy donuts, flavored with cinnamon and orange zest, are ideal for any occasion, whether it's a special breakfast or a sweet snack between meals.

Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 15 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Number of servings: 12 donuts Ingredients: - 500 g flour - 1 cube of fresh yeast (about 25 g) - 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon - Zest of 1 orange - 2 packets of vanilla sugar - 3 tablespoons of oil for the dough - 500 ml oil for frying - 5 tablespoons of sugar - A pinch of salt - Warm water, as needed Preparation: 1. Start by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, combine the flour with the crumbled yeast, sugar, vanilla sugar, cinnamon, salt, and orange zest. These ingredients will give the donuts a special flavor and a fluffy texture. 2. Gradually add warm water, mixing with a spatula or your hands, until the dough starts to come together. It's important to use warm water, as it activates the yeast, helping the dough to rise. 3. When the dough becomes smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, add the 3 tablespoons of oil and continue kneading. The oil will help achieve a soft and elastic texture. 4. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume (about 45 minutes). 5. Once the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on a working surface and turn out the dough. Divide it in half, then take one half and roll it out with a rolling pin to about 1 cm thick. 6. Cut out the donuts with a round cutter (or a glass), and if you wish, you can shape them into various forms for a more playful look. 7. In a deep pan, heat 500 ml of oil. Check if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of dough into it; if it starts to sizzle and float, it’s time to add the donuts. 8. Fry the donuts on each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to maintain a consistent oil temperature. 9. Use a spatula to remove the donuts from the oil and place them on paper towels to absorb the excess oil. 10. Before serving, dust the donuts with powdered sugar. They are delicious warm but can also be served cold. Serving suggestions: You can enjoy the donuts plain or pair them with a portion of fruit jam or melted chocolate sauce for an extra flavor boost. Possible variations: You can experiment with different flavors by adding cardamom or vanilla instead of cinnamon. You can also try replacing the orange zest with lemon zest for a fresh twist. These vegan cinnamon donuts are not only delicious but also easy to make. Try this simple recipe and enjoy moments of culinary indulgence!
