BAKED DOUGHNUTS FILLED WITH JAM

Doughnuts that are baked to perfection and filled with jam. These are incredibly soft and melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour / maida

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/4 tsp salt

2 1/4 tsp instant yeast

2/3 cup warm milk

3 Tbsp unsalted butter melted

2 egg yolks

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup jam (you can use jelly as well)

1/3 cup powdered sugar to roll doughnuts

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast and salt.

Add warm milk, melted butter, egg yolks and vanilla extract and whisk to combine well using a hand mixer with dough hook until dough holds together and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl.

Dust work floor lightly with flour then knead the dough and roll into a ball. Place the dough back in bowl and cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm temperature for 45 min or until doubled in size.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and preheat oven to 190 degrees C.

Turn dough out onto a floured surface and roll the dough out to just under 1/2” thick using a rolling pin on a floured surface. Cut circles out using a round cookie cutter. Place doughnuts on prepared baking sheet, cover with a tea towel and let rise in a warm oven for 20 min or until puffed. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden on top.

Right out of the oven, brush doughnuts with remaining melted butter and roll in a bowl of sugar to coat lightly with sugar. Cut a deep slit in the side of each doughnut and pipe jam or jelly using a pastry bag into each one.
