How to Make

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Add sugar to a pan and place bacon slices on it. Make sure both ends of the slices are covered with sugar granules. Bake them for about 15 minutes. Cool bacon slices using the wire rack and set aside
2. Take the ingredients for the maple syrup glaze and combine them in a bowl. Whisk until it looks creamy and smooth
3. Get a small bowl, pour two tablespoons of warm water, and mix the yeast by stirring until it dissolves.
4. In a bowl, put the orange zest, sugar, all-purpose flour, and spices with the mashed sweet potatoes. Use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment to mix. Mix on low-speed settings and let the ingredients blend well
5. To this mix, add shortening, half of water, butter, and the egg yolk. After these are soaked in by the liquid, mix again and increase the mixing speed until the dough starts pulling itself from its sides.

9. Place doughnuts on baking sheets with parchment paper. Layer the parchment with a nonstick spray and cover these doughnuts lightly using plastic wrap and nonstick spray. Give the doughnuts about 20 minutes to double in size.
