INGREDIENTS

1 cup warm water

3 tablespoon active dry yeast

1/2 cup granulated sugar

4 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoon salt

3 eggs

1 and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Frosting:

4 oz cream cheese, room temp, softened

2 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temp

2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup milk

roughly chopped Oreo cookies, as needed

INSTRUCTIONS

In a bowl, take warm water, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar and stir to combine. Let this sit for 5-7 minutes until the yeast mixture is foamy on top.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together remaining sugar, flour, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of stand mixer or with a hand mixer, whish egg and vanilla until incorporated well.

Add half of flour mixture to this . Mix on low-medium speed until flour is almost incorporated. Add remaining half of flour. Once flour has been incorporated, add chopped Oreo pieces. Increase speed and mix/knead for 2 minutes or so until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Cover dough with plastic wrap or kitchen towel. Allow dough to rest for 10 minutes. Transfer dough to a lightly floured baking sheet. Pat dough into a rectangle with a thickness of about 1/2-inch. Cover with kitchen towel and place in a warm environment until the dough also doubled in size.

Remove dough and place on a lightly floured work surface. Use a sharp knife (or pizza cutter) to cut the bars into 3-inch squares.

Gently transfer squares to a lightly floured baking sheet. Keep squares uncovered and place let in oven for another 45 minutes until they have puffed up.

Remove dough squares from oven. Carefully fry them in hot oil until light golden brown in color. Carefully turn over the bar and fry the other side for another 30 seconds.

Once golden brown all over, remove cooked donuts from oil and let drain over a cooling rack set over paper towels.

Using a hand mixer, cream together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Mix until smooth.

Dip one side of donut into cream cheese frosting. Top with chopped Oreos. Enjoy immediately.
