Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 50 g vegan margarine
- 70 g granulated sugar
- 7 g active dry yeast
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 L vegetable oil
- 300 g strawberry jam
- 50 g powdered sugar
Instructions
Heat the almond milk in a small saucepan or microwave until it's warm (not hot) to the touch.
In a large bowl, combine the warm almond milk, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, and the yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Melt the vegan margarine and add it into the yeast mixture along with the remaining sugar. Stir well to combine.
Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until it forms a soft dough.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1 cm thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out circles and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the cut donuts with a damp cloth and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F). Carefully fry the donuts in batches for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
While the donuts are still warm, roll them in the powdered sugar.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle with strawberry jam. Poke a hole in each donut and fill them with jam.
Serve the donuts warm or at room temperature and enjoy your dairy-free treat!
