Fry the donuts in hot oil until golden brown, then coat them in powdered sugar glaze.
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour?
—While you can use all-purpose flour, using bread flour will yield a better texture and consistency.
Can I bake the donuts instead of frying them?
—Frying the donuts in hot oil is essential for achieving the traditional glazed donut texture. Baking may result in a different texture.

What other types of glazes can I use?
