Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Whey protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 180 milliliters Warm milk
- 1 Egg
- 750 milliliters Neutral oil (for frying)
- 200 grams Your choice of jam
- 50 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then remove from heat and add the warm milk, stirring to combine.
Add the butter and milk mixture to the dry ingredients, along with the egg. Mix together until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased 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.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out to a thickness of about 1.5 cm on a floured surface.
Using a round cutter (about 7 cm in diameter), cut out donut shapes. You can re-roll the excess dough to make more donuts.
Cover the cut donuts with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Heat neutral oil in a large pot to 180°C (350°F). Carefully fry the donuts in batches for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Remove the donuts from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Once slightly cooled, use a piping bag filled with your choice of jam to fill each donut by inserting the nozzle into the side.
Dust the filled donuts with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your high protein classic jam donuts!
