about 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl,
cover it, and let it rise for about an hour, or until doubled in size.

Roll the risen dough to about ½ inch thickness. Use a floured cutter to
shape donut rounds. Place them on a floured tray, cover, and allow them to rise
again for 45 minutes.
