recipe

  • Step 1
    Warm the milk in the microwave for 30 sec or in a small saucepan on the stove until the temp reaches 120°F.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, combine 1/2 of the flour, sugar (1/4 cup for 12 donut serving), a pinch of salt & the instant yeast. Whisk it all together.
  • Step 3
    Pour in the warm milk, vanilla extract, eggs & butter. Use an electric mixer to mix on high speed for 2 min. You can also whisk vigorously by hand for 5 min!
  • Step 4
    Stir the rest of the flour, in small batches, until the dough holds together. On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough & knead it for 5-10 min until smooth! Add a drizzle of oil to a clean bowl. Add the dough & cover with plastic wrap. Rest for 45 min, or until it's double in size. Meanwhile, line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
  • Step 5
    On a lightly dusted surface, roll out the dough to 1/2 an inch thickness. Use a small round cookie cutter or a cup to cut circles. Re-roll the scraps & cut the remaining dough. Add the donuts to the lined-sheet tray. Cover with a towel & rest for 30 min.
  • Step 6
    Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F & transfer the strawberry jelly to a plastic ziplock or piping bag.
  • Step 7
    When the donuts have puffed up, bake them in the oven for 10-12 min. While the donuts bake, melt 1-2 tbsp of butter & add the remaining sugar to a large bowl.
  • Step 8
    Remove the donuts from the oven. Once cool enough to handle, use a knife to carefully poke a hole into the side of each donut. Snip off a tiny corner piece of jelly-filled bag. Squeeze jelly into each donut. Brush each filled donut with melted butter.
  • Step 9
    Immediately toss the buttered donuts in the remaining cup of sugar to coat. Serve & enjoy!
