fruit jam

🥗Healthier: fruit puree

💰Cheaper: store-bought jelly

Fruit puree is lower in sugar and provides a fresh flavor.

Mix 11 gr of fresh yeast with 3 tablespoons of lukewarm milk, a pinch of sugar, and 3 tablespoons of flour to form a smooth pre-dough.

Cover the pre-dough with a cloth and let it stand for 10-15 minutes until bubbles develop.

Add the remaining flour, 30 gr icing sugar, 1 medium sized egg, ¼ tsp salt, 1 sachet of vanilla sugar, and the remaining milk to the pre-dough and knead for about 3-4 minutes.

Add 30 gr of butter, some orange zest, and some lemon zest, and knead until the dough comes away from the bowl.

Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes in a warm place.

Flatten the dough on the work surface, fold it tightly, and let it rest covered for 10 minutes.

Repeat the folding process and let it relax for another 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into 6 roughly equal pieces and roll them into smooth balls, dipping the bottoms in flour.

Place the dough balls on a piece of baking paper and let them rise in a switched-off oven with a pot of boiling water underneath until they visibly enlarge but do not double in size.

Prepare the sugar for rolling by mixing 50 gr erythritol with some cinnamon.

Once the dough balls have risen to about 3/4, leave them uncovered on the work surface for another 5-10 minutes to dry the surface slightly.

Heat about 1.5 liters of sunflower oil to a temperature between 160-170°C.

Place the dough ball upside down in a ladle and gently slide it into the hot oil, covering the pan with a lid and baking the first side for about 2 minutes.

After 2 minutes, turn the donut and bake the bottom for 2 minutes without the lid.

Turn the donut again and let the top bake for another 0.5-1 minute, then do the same with the bottom.

Let the finished donut drain briefly on kitchen paper and put the next donut in the pot.

Roll the hot donuts in the sugar mixture to coat them.

Make a small hole in the side of each donut and use a disposable syringe to squirt in some jam.
