Title: Homemade Strawberry Cream-Filled Donuts
Categories: Breads, Snacks, Dairy, Fruits
Yield: 12 servings

1/4 oz Env active dry yeast
2 tb Warm water
3 1/4 c All purpose flour
1 c Whole milk
4 tb Soft butter
1 ts Vanilla extract
3 Egg yolks
2 tb Sugar
1 qt Vegetable oil
4 c Sliced strawberries
1/4 c Sugar
1 1/2 tb Water
1 c Sugar
16 oz Cream cheese; room temp
1/2 c Powdered sugar
2 tb Strawberry jam

In a bowl of a stand mixer, combine the yeast and warm
water.

Add the flour, milk, butter, vanilla, yolks and sugar.
Mix on slow until the dough comes together to form a
soft ball.

Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and roll
into a ball.

Place the dough into a bowl brushed with olive oil and
cover with a towel. Leave the bowl somewhere hot (such
as on top of a pre-heated oven) until the dough has
doubled in size (about 1-1/2 hours).

Place the sliced strawberries in a non-stick pan with
the sugar and water and bring to a simmer.

Cook on low heat for about 10 minutes until the
strawberries are soft; then let cool in the fridge or
freezer.

Place the soft cream cheese in the bowl of the mixer and
beat together with the powdered sugar and strawberry
jam.

Once the strawberries have cooled, add about 1-1/4 cups
of the strawberries to the cream cheese. Mix on low
speed until incorporated and store in the fridge while
you finish the donuts.

Once the dough has doubled in size, place it on the
table and divide it evenly into 15 pieces.

Roll each piece of dough into a ball and place on a
baking sheet lined with parchment paper and dusted with
flour.

Cover the donut balls with a towel and let rise again
for at least 30 minutes.

Heat the oil in a deep pot to 375ºF/190ºC. Carefully
lift each donut from the baking sheet with tongs and
gently add to the hot oil. You should cook 3 at a time
to prevent crowding the pot.

Cook in the oil for about 1 minute and then flip them
over and repeat until they are golden brown.

Lift the donuts from the pot and transfer to a sheet of
paper towels to drain.

Once all of the donuts have been cooked and are cool,
roll them in the sugar.

Poke a hole in the side of each donut with a skewer or
long toothpick. Fill a piping bag with some of the cream
and fill each donut. Serve immediately.
