WHAT ARE BRIOCHE COOKIES
Brioche Donuts are a delicious type of donut made with brioche dough, known for their rich, buttery and slightly sweet taste. Unlike traditional doughnuts, these doughnuts have a lighter and airier texture due to the high butter and egg content in the dough. This makes them incredibly soft and fluffy.
To make brioche doughnuts, this dough is first left to rise, then cut into doughnut shapes and fried until golden brown. After frying, the doughnuts are often sprinkled with sugar. or icing. They can also be filled with various fillings, such as jam, cream or chocolate, adding extra layers of flavor.

HOW TO MAKE THEM MORE REAL
When I first started making stuffed donuts years ago, I had to Google this question myself. When I was a kid, I thought you needed a special tool to create a pocket or to fill the donuts with filling before they were frozen. But it’s much simpler than that! Just prepare your donut batter according to the recipe and fry them. After frying, use a piping bag fitted with a fine metal tip to pipe the jelly onto your donuts. IT’S THAT SIMPLE!

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST BRIOCHE JELLY DONUTS
Here are some helpful tips for making the best brioche jelly donuts:
–Use high-quality ingredients: Start with fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Use good butter, fresh eggs, and high-quality jam or jelly.
-Proper kneading: Knead the brioche dough carefully until it is smooth and elastic. This helps develop the gluten, giving the donuts their airy, light texture.
-Let the dough rise: Let the dough rise well. Let it rise until it doubles in size, then shape the doughnuts and let it rise again. This ensures that the doughnuts are light and fluffy.
-Keep the dough cool: Brioche dough has a lot of butter, which can melt if the dough is too warm. Work in a cool environment and put the dough in the refrigerator if it becomes too sticky.
-Uniform Shape: When forming the doughnuts, try to make them uniform in size. This ensures even cooking and a professional look.
-Perfect Frying Temperature: Heat the oil to the right temperature, around 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain this temperature. Frying at the right temperature ensures that the doughnuts turn out golden brown and are cooked without fat.
-Drain them well: After frying, place them on a rack lined with kitchen paper to drain the excess oil. This will prevent them from getting soggy.
-Take them while they are still hot: Make sure they are still hot. This will make them easier to scoop. Apply gelatin to the soft, fluffy inside.
-Use a piping bag with a long tip: A piping bag with a long, narrow tip works best for piping the gelatin evenly onto the donuts. Insert tip into side of each donut and press gently to fill.
-Dust with sugar: For an added touch, dust filled donuts with powdered sugar or roll in granulated sugar while still slightly warm.
-Serve cold: Brioche donuts are best when cold. If you need to keep them, store in an airtight container for up to a day. Reheat briefly before serving to soften their texture.

By following these tips, you will create the most delicious, moist, brioche jelly-filled donuts that everyone will love!
