Please do not make any substitutes for this recipe. If you want to create a bakery type yeast raised donut.
I also found using my bread machine on the dough cycle produced a more delicate donut.
In a bowl - Start your yeast -1/4 cup of warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp of sugar. Mix well and allow to bloom.
Either in your bread machine or mixing bowl - Add your flour, sugar, salt, nutmeg, egg, shortening, Buttery Sweet Dough, Bakery Emulsion, water, and yeast mixture.
**Bread Machine- Turn it on dough cycle**
**Mixer** -Combine mix on low to combine ingredients - switch to dough hook and knead for 3 minutes. Oil your bowl and cover and allow to proof the rise should be double the size.
After the dough has proofed. Turn the dough on a floured surface and punch down. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

Roll the dough out to 1/2" - 3/4" thickness. (depends on how you like your donuts. Cut out your donuts.
Place on a lightly oiled/floured baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for at least 30 minutes or until double the size.
Turn on your deep fryer 360 degrees ( I used shortening for the oil - this was the best result for the donuts)

Once the oil has achieved temperature - Gently remove the donuts from the baking pan and place in the fryer.
Fry until lightly browned -flipping the donuts midway through the frying.
Remove the donuts from the fryer and place on a paper towel - this will allow the paper towel to absorb the oil. I found placing the donuts on a rack the donuts were oily.
Glaze your donuts while still warm.
We used a simple glaze as well as cinnamon sugar.
