Scale
Dough Ingredients:
- 2 3/4 cups (340 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) warm milk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter, softened
Filling Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) strawberry puree
- 1/2 teaspoon milk
Instructions
- Activate yeast in warm milk for 5-10 minutes until foamy and fragrant.
- Create soft, elastic dough by mixing flour, eggs, melted butter, and sugar. Knead thoroughly until smooth and uniform.
- Allow dough to rest and rise in a warm environment for approximately 1 hour, or until volume doubles.
- Gently roll out risen dough to 1/2-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut circular shapes using a round cutter, creating uniform donut rounds.
- Let cut donuts proof for an additional 30 minutes, ensuring slight puffiness.
- Heat oil to 350°F in a deep pot, maintaining consistent temperature.
- Carefully fry donuts for 1-2 minutes per side until achieving golden-brown exterior.
- Transfer fried donuts to paper towels, allowing excess oil to drain completely.
- Whip cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until creating smooth, creamy filling.
- Prepare strawberry glaze by blending powdered sugar, fresh strawberry puree, and milk until glossy.
- Use a piping bag to inject cheesecake filling into each donut’s center.
- Dip donut tops into strawberry glaze, allowing excess to drip off.
- Let glazed donuts set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Activate yeast precisely in warm milk to ensure proper dough rising and soft donut texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother dough mixing and consistent rise.
- Choose fresh, ripe strawberries for the most vibrant and natural glaze flavor.
- Control oil temperature carefully while frying to prevent burning or undercooked centers.
