Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled in volume.

On a floured work surface or on a silicone mat, roll out the dough to a 1/2-inch (1.5-2cm) thickness. Cut circles with a floured 2½-inch (6.5cm) round cutter.

Cover the circles and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

In a large pan heat oil to 170C.

Add the doughnuts, with the parchment, a few at a time, 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Fill a pastry bag fitted with a round tip with jam. Using a wooden skewer or straw, make a hole in the side or at the top of each doughnut. Fit the pastry tip into a hole, pipe about 2 teaspoons jam into doughnut.

Dust with powdered sugar.
