• In a large bowl pour the two glasses of lukewarm water a small spoon of honey, a little salt and the 2 yeast sachets. Stir well to dissolve.

• Slowly add the flour as you mix until it is the consistency of thick cream.

• Simultaneously put all the oil in a saucepan and place it in the oven at a temperature less than the highest temperature and allow it to warm up well.

• Put the mixture to rest and inflate.

• When the oil has warmed up and the mixture has risen, take a small spoon, scoop as little as a teaspoonful and pour it into the hot oil.

• Fill it to the surface

• When the balls (like little golf balls!) turn a golden colour, put them it in a container lined with paper towels to absorb the oil.

• Repeat the process until the mixture is finished.

• Then sprinkle the donuts with hot Nutella or honey and coarse nuts.
