Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm milk and let it sit until it becomes frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

5. 5

   Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.

6. 6

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.
