  Cut six 4-inch square pieces of parchment paper, and line a tray with the parchment squares. Line a second tray with a sheet of parchment paper. Spray the parchment squares and second tray with cooking spray. Turn the dough onto a well-floured countertop and roll until about ½-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut the dough into rounds. Using a 1¼-inch round cookie cutter, cut out the doughnut holes. Place each doughnut onto a parchment square and the doughnut holes on the second tray. Cover with plastic wrap.

  Place the second rack into position 4. Place the doughnuts and doughnut holes in the oven and set the oven to Proof, Convection, 100°F, for 20 minutes and press Start to proof until dough doubles in size. Meanwhile, start heating the oil.

  Place a deep fryer or pot of oil over medium heat and heat the oil until 350°F.

  Once the oil is hot and the doughnuts have proofed, carefully add 3 doughnuts, with the parchment paper attached to the oil and cook for 1 minute. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and continue cooking, turning and moving the doughnuts constantly so they color evenly. Remove from the oil and place on a wire rack, over a tray to drain. Repeat with the remaining doughnuts and holes.

  To make the glaze, carefully assemble the processor with the grey spindle and green S-blade™ in the bowl. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla and salt and process to combine. With the processor on, add the corn syrup and milk through the small feed chute and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl that’s large enough to fit a doughnut.

  Working with one doughnut at a time, dip a warm doughnut into the glaze and turn to coat. Return the doughnut to the rack to drain. Dip the holes into the glaze, turning to coat and return to the rack. Allow to stand for 15 minutes for the glaze to set before serving.
