Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine warm water, yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir gently and let rest for about 10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Whisk together eggs and vegetable oil in a separate bowl. Combine with the yeast mixture once frothy.
  3. Gradually mix in all-purpose flour until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  4. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  5. Lightly flour your countertop, divide the dough into thirds, and roll each piece to 1/4-inch thickness.
  6. Melt butter in two bundt pans to coat the bottom evenly.
  7. Dip each circle of dough in melted butter, stack in prepared pans, filling until full but not overflowing.
  8. Cover pans with a kitchen towel and let rise again for 15 to 20 minutes.
  9. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Cool slightly, invert onto a serving plate, and serve warm.
