  Categories: Breads, Davidson
       Yield: 36 doughnuts
  
       5 ts Yeast, dry
     1/3 c  ;Water, warm
   2 1/4 c  Sugar
     1/3 c  Shortening; melted
   1 1/2 c  Milk; scalded & cooled
       2 ts Salt
       2 ts Vanilla extract
       2 lg Egg
     1/4 c  Wheat germ
     1/4 c  Soy flour
     1/4 c  Oat bran
   4 1/2 c  Flour
       2 ts Cinnamon, ground
       1 c  Butter, sweet; melted
  
   In a large mixing bowl, proof the yeast with 1/2 teaspoon sugar for 10
   minutes.  Mix the shortening into the warm milk, then add the liquid
   to the yeast mixture along with 1/4 cup of the sugar, salt, vanilla,
   eggs, wheat germ, soy flour, oat bran, and 1 1/2 cups of the flour.
   Beat vig- orously until very well blended.  Stir in the remaining
   flour and beat until smooth.  Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and
   put it in a warm, draft-free place until the dough doubles.
   
   Punch down and turn the dough out onto a floured board; pat out until
   the dough is about 1/2" thick.  Cut out doughnuts with a cookie
   cutter and place 2" apart on greased cookie sheets.  Allow to rise,
   uncovered, until doubled again.  Preheat the oven to 400 F.  Mix the
   remaining two cups sugar with the ground cinnamon.  Bake the
   doughnuts 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.  Dip quickly into
   the melted butter and roll in the cinnamon sugar.
