Mix 313g all-purpose flour, 1½ tsp dry yeast, and 2 tbsp sugar until just combined.

Add 125ml warm milk, 2 egg yolks, and ½ tsp salt to the mixture.

Knead the dough until smooth for about 10 minutes or longer; a mixer with a dough hook can be used.

Cover the dough and let it rise for 40-60 minutes.

Divide the dough into 8 pieces, about 60g each, and shape them into rounds.

Cover the rounds loosely and let them rise for 2-4 hours until expanded.

Heat oil in a deep fryer over medium heat.

Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes on each side, ensuring they float and puff up, turning them only once.

Remove the donuts and let them drain on paper towels or a wire rack.

Coat the warm donuts with fine sugar mixed with ½ tsp cinnamon powder (optional).

Fill a piping bag with jam and insert a long puff nozzle into another piping bag.

Fill the donuts with jam from the ring side using cherry, strawberry, or mixed fruit jam.
