Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cups Warm milk (around 110°F)
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Jam or jelly of choice (e.g., raspberry or strawberry)
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm milk, 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar, and the active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5-7 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness on a floured surface. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out circles of dough. Transfer the circles to the prepared baking sheet.
Cover the dough circles with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes, until slightly puffy.
Bake the doughnuts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Using a piping bag with a round tip, fill each doughnut with about 1 tablespoon of jam or jelly by poking a hole in the side and squeezing the filling inside.
Dust the filled doughnuts with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
