After the indicated time, add the rest of the flour, milk and sugar to the leavening.

Operate the machine kneading at low speed then add grated lemon and vanilla peel, then mix the eggs one at a time when they are perfectly absorbed, add the soft butter in small pieces so as to string the dough. The result must be a smooth, elastic compound that detaches from the walls. Add the salt and finish the stringing.

Reassemble the leftover dough scraps, form a ball and let it rest at room temperature wrapped in a film for about 1 hour. This step is used to swell the dough and make it workable again.

Let your donuts rise for about 1 hour and a half in the oven that has just been turned off (28 °) until they have doubled their volume.
