I have been wanting to make these donuts since I saw the video on Youtube but I am not so sure if my daughter or my husband will like it since it is not chocolate dessert. Well, I made them anyway, hoping they will like them. And, surprisingly they like them.

When these donuts are fresh from the oven, they taste soft and light. The next day, donuts were slightly dense even I kept them in the tight container. The strawberry filling is optional but in my opinion, it’s giving a kick to the donuts. They won’t taste too dense if they have strawberry filling

Let’s make these donuts

Ingredients :

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (128 grams)
• 1/4 cup of sugar (58 grams)
• 1 packet of  instant yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2/3 cup of warm milk (160 ml)
• 3 tbsp of melted unsalted butter (43 grams)
• 2 eggs yolk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 1/2 cups of flour (192 grams)
• 1/3 cup of strawberry jam (for filling) equals 65 grams
• 1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing donuts)
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for coating the donuts)

 

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl;  mix 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, yeast, salt. Mix them well.
2. Add warm milk, 3tbsp melted butter, eggs yolk, and vanilla essence to dry ingredients. Whisk them until well incorporated. Cover with cling wrap (plastic wrap), let it rest for 10 minutes (room temperature) or until bubbles form on the surface
3. Add 1 1/2 cups of flour, mix it until the dough does not stick on the bowl. Knead for 5 minutes until the dough elastic (soft and does not stick to the bowl). Add the flour when kneading if needed. Let it rise to double size at room temperature for 1 1/2 hours.
4. Turn the dough to a floured surface, dust the top of dough with flour. Roll it to 1/2 inch thick, use the round cookie cutter. Make 12-14 donuts
5. Transfer the dough to the baking pan lined with parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let it rise at room temperature for 45 minutes.
6. Bake donuts at 375 degrees Fahrenheit at preheated oven until lightly golden.
7. Brush donuts with melted butter as soon as donuts come out of the oven. Roll with granulated sugar.
8. Use a medium knife to slit the side of donuts or use the big straw to make a hole on the side of donuts
9. Using a pastry bag to pipe strawberry jam into the (hole) donuts
