Step 1
In a large bowl, dissolve the 1 tbsp yeast in 0.75 cup warm water and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add the 2 cups flour and 1 tsp salt to the yeast mixture, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes, then cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Step 4
Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball, then poke a hole through the center to form a ring.
Step 5
Heat the 2 cups oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the doughnuts in batches, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per batch.
Step 6
Drain the doughnuts on paper towels, then toss in the 0.5 cup sugar while still warm. Serve immediately.
