How to Make Baked Sugar Doughnuts Bread Machine

1. Peel and cube 1 pound russet potatoes. Place in a saucepan and cover with water.
2. Bring to a boil and cook until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
3. Drain potatoes, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
4. Let the reserved liquid cool to 70-80°F (21-27°C).
5. Mash the cooked potatoes.
6. Set aside 1 cup of the mashed potatoes to cool to room temperature.
7. In your bread machine pan, add ingredients in the order recommended by your machine's manual. Include the reserved potato liquid and the remaining mashed potatoes.
8. Select the dough setting on your bread machine and let it complete the cycle.
9. Once the cycle is finished, gently turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
10. Knead in an additional 1/4 to 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, if needed, until the dough is slightly tacky but not sticky.
11. Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
12. Use a 2 1/2-inch doughnut cutter to cut out the doughnuts.
13. Place the doughnuts on greased baking sheets.
14. Cover the baking sheets and let the doughnuts rise until almost doubled in size (about 25 minutes).
15. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
16. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the doughnuts are lightly browned.
17. While the doughnuts bake, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.
18. Once baked, brush the warm doughnuts with melted butter.
19. Immediately dip the buttered doughnuts into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating them evenly.
