Step 2- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, take each portion of the dough, degas the dough then tuck in the edges towards the centre and roll it into small round balls, cover the dough in a bowl and let it rest for another 15 minutes
Step 3- Press on top of the ball to flatten it a bit, gentle press in the middle of the dough ball with the top of thumb to form a small hole then widen the hole using fingers to form the shape of a doughnuts, placed the donuts on a parchment lined baking tray and leave to rest once again.
