How to do it
In a large bowl, mix the yeast, warm water and a pinch of sugar. Let stand for a few minutes to allow the yeast to grow and dissolve.
Mix the remaining sugar, milk, vanilla, eggs, oil, salt and half the flour. Knead for about 5 minutes (by hand or in the dough mixer), adding the remaining flour as needed to form a smooth, elastic dough.
Place in a greased bowl and cover to let it grow for about 30 to 40 minutes.
Knead the dough gently.
Remove pieces of dough the size of a golf ball and knead with a roller until it is oval in shape and let it rest covered with a towel.
Fry the dough in hot oil and drain it on paper towel.
Pass in the sugar with cinnamon or in the cover that you wish.
