Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 280 grams (9.9 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 150 grams (5.3 ounces) cream cheese
- 50 grams (1.8 ounces) milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 80 grams (2.8 ounces) strawberry jam
Yeast and Sugar Components:
- 50 grams (1.8 ounces) warm water
- 1.12 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 50 grams (1.8 ounces) granulated sugar
- 50 grams (1.8 ounces) powdered sugar
Fats and Oils:
- 40 grams (1.4 ounces) soft butter
- 3 liters (101.4 fluid ounces) sunflower oil
Garnish:
- 6 fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by dissolving it in warm water with a sprinkle of sugar. Allow the mixture to foam and bloom for 10 minutes in a quiet, undisturbed spot.
- Create the dough foundation by combining flour, sugar, egg yolks, soft butter, and milk in a mixing bowl. Integrate the activated yeast mixture until a cohesive, soft dough forms.
- Develop the dough’s gluten structure by kneading with a dough hook for 15-20 minutes. The texture should transform into a smooth, elastic mass that springs back when touched.
- Allow the dough to rise in a greased bowl, covered, at a warm 84F environment. Wait until the volume doubles, approximately 1½ hours.
- Roll out the proofed dough to a thin 0.25 cm thickness. Punch out circular shapes using a 6 cm cookie cutter. Let the cut donuts undergo a second rise for 30 minutes until they become puffy.
- Heat oil to a precise 180C for frying. Carefully lower donuts into the oil, maintaining a consistent 175C temperature. Fry each side for 2 minutes, rotating to achieve an even golden-brown exterior.
- Transfer fried donuts onto paper towels to absorb excess oil and cool slightly.
- Whip cream cheese with powdered sugar and strawberry jam until achieving a silky, uniform filling consistency.
- Use a piping bag to inject the strawberry cheesecake mixture into the center of each donut, ensuring even distribution.
- Finish by topping with fresh sliced strawberries and a delicate snowfall of powdered sugar for visual appeal.
Notes
- Always use fresh, room-temperature ingredients to ensure smooth dough consistency and better flavor absorption.
- Test yeast activity by ensuring it becomes foamy and bubbly, which indicates it’s active and will help donuts rise properly.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature between 175-180°C to prevent donuts from becoming greasy or undercooked.
- Pipe cheesecake filling when donuts are slightly cool to prevent melting and ensure clean, precise filling.
