Jelly Donuts
Soft and fluffy homemade jelly donuts filled with the best sweet jelly. The best way to start your mornings
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- ⅔ cup milk room temperature
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar plus more for rolling
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ cup jelly
Instructions
- Proof the yeast by adding it to the milk and a pinch or two of sugar in your stand mixer. Let it rest for 10 minutes. It should form a frothy foam on the milk. If this does not happen, you must start over with new yeast.
- Mix together the flour, sugar, and salt together, then add it to the stand mixer and beat on low until a dough forms. Add the eggs one at a time waiting until each is completely incorporated before adding the next. Add in the butter a tablespoon at a time waiting until the butter is incorporated before adding more.
- Use a dough hook to knead the dough for about 10 minutes until the dough forms a soft, silky ball.
- Grease a bowl lightly and place the dough in. Cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise for 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and roll out until about ½ inch thick. Use a doughnut cutter or mouth of a cup to cut out doughnuts that are about 3 ½ inches in diameter. Re-roll any excess dough and cut.
- Place the doughnuts on a greased sheet of parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and allow it to rise for another hour.
- Heat at least 3 inches of oil to 350F. Fry each doughnut until a golden brown - about 2 - 3 minutes on each side. You should be able to fit roughly 2 - 3ndoughnuts in a pan or deep fryer depending on the size. Just make sure the doughnuts do not touch while frying.
- Allow the doughnuts to drain briefly on a paper towel-lined wire rack. Toss in granulated sugar
- Fit a piping bag with a small round piping tip and then will with the jelly. Insert the piping tip into the donut and fill with a few tablespoons of the jelly.
- Serve immediately.
