5. Wrap dough in thermomat and leave to rise until doubled in size (approx 1 - 1 1/2 hours)
6. Knock down dough and form into a sausage shape. Use spatula to cut dough into 10 equal size pieces (each piece should weigh approx 95 grams)
7. Roll each piece into a round ball and place onto a baking tray lined with baking paper or an oven thermomat. (You will need 2 trays for the donuts)
8. Lightly flatten each ball into a disc approximately 9cm in diameter. Use a 3.5cm round cutter to remove the centre of the donut. (Save these and bake them also to make donut holes. You will need a third baking paper lined tray if you bake these)
9. Cover the donuts (and the donut holes if using) with lightly oiled glad wrap and leave to rise a second time until risen, approx 1 hour
10. Bake 1 tray at a time at 200 degrees for 8 - 9 minutes until golden and cooked through

Tip
1. This recipe was adapted from the Donna Hay April 2015 magazine. Donna Hay's donuts were served with a chocolate glaze in additon to the cinnamon sugar. If you would like to add the glaze, make a choclate ganache, dip the top half of the donuts in the chocolate, then brush the bottom half of the donut with milk and dip in the cinnamon sugar
2. If you don't have any buttermilk handy, make your own. Add 1 scant tblsp of lemon juice or vinegar to the 165 ml of milk and leave to stand for 10 minutes

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

First try and (mistakenly) used Bread Flour - tasted, looked, baked OK however texture was very dense even when straight from oven - a sign of gluten too developed.
Looked at original recipe and thinking just 1 -2 min kneading will be heaps (standmixer recipe says 5 min - TM is MUCH more efficient!). Will try again with correct flour too!

These were yummy and healthy. Thanks for the recipe!
These are lovely as long as you let them rise long enough...
I made one batch but they hadn't risen enough and were heavy and more like a sweet roll or bagel.
I left the remaining 7 donuts on the tray in the fridge overnight and then put them in the sun to rise the next day (its winter here and quite cool), they were perfect! Loved them!! Very important not to over bake them. They need to be just lightly browned.
This was my first attempt at donuts, and im happy to say they turned out well. They did brown a little more on top than i thought they would but they were still fluffy and yum but i think they need a little more flavour so thin i'll cut them in half and put jam in the middle to "spice" them up a bit. Thanks for the recipe it was a good challange
