Donuts with American filling

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Heat the water to 40 degrees, it should be slightly warm. Pour it into a container, then pour dry yeast into the container. Gently mix the contents of the container and leave alone for 7 minutes. Pour the milk into the ladle, put it on a small fire, heating the milk to 45 degrees.

2. Step 2:

   

   Now we take a deep container into which we pour granulated sugar, drive in an egg, put a piece of butter at room temperature. Then pour in the yeast mixture, then add the flour sifted through a sieve (170 gr.). Pour in warm milk and mix all the ingredients for a couple of minutes with a mixer using the hook attachment.

3. Step 3:

   

   Then sift the second half of the flour into the dough and turn on the mixer again. Knead the dough until smooth for 7 minutes. The dough should turn out sticky.

4. Step 4:

   

   Prepare the work surface for further work with the dough by sprinkling its surface with a small amount of flour, on which we spread the dough. We also sprinkle flour on top of the dough, then form a ball from the dough. Now we take a container that we lubricate with vegetable oil. We spread the dough into it and cover it with cling film. We put the container in a warm place (for example, next to the battery) for 1.5 hours so that the doughnut dough doubles.

5. Step 5:

   

   At the end of this time, the work surface is again sprinkled with flour. Then we take a piece of dough (not all of it, it will be more convenient to work this way). We roll it out with a thickness of 1 to 1.5 cm. We take a tool specially designed for cutting donuts and use it to cut out the so-called "bagels". If there is no such tool, then you can use, for example, a glass, where its diameter is quite large, and a glass with a small diameter (for cutting the center).

7. Step 6:

   

   Pour vegetable oil into a saucepan and put it on fire, heat it up well (preferably at 180 ° C). We check the oil by throwing a small piece of dough into the oil, if it starts to foam, then you can start frying donuts.

8. Step 7:

   

   Carefully put one donut in the butter. We spread no more than 3 donuts at a time, fry them, turning them over a couple of times during frying, after which the already fried donuts on paper towels to get rid of excess fat.

9. Step 8:

   

   Now let's move on to the process of stuffing donuts with stuffing. To do this, take a pastry bag with a nozzle, put jam in the bag and, after making several incisions in the donuts on one side, fill them with stuffing.

    Now let's prepare the glaze. To do this, sift the powder through a sieve into a bowl and pour in one spoonful of lemon juice, mixing the ingredients thoroughly, you should get a thick paste, which we will apply to donuts. If desired, with the help of dyes, you can make a colored glaze. On top of the donuts, if desired, you can sprinkle with grated chocolate or confectionery sprinkles.
