CLASSIC JELLY BRIOCHE DONUTS
Classic Brioche Jelly Donuts are a delicious dessert that combines the buttery richness of brioche with a burst of sweet jelly inside.
Ingredients
- 540 g bread or all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 eggs + 1 egg yolk at room temperature
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- 7 g instant yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup white sugar for coating
- 1 cup jam
Instructions
- In a bowl of a stand mixer, add in the warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt and mix well. Let it rest for about 10 minutes until it foams.
- Add in the eggs, flour and mix well until a soft dough forms.
- Add in the butter and knead for about 6-8 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to an oiled boil and cover and let rest for about 1.5- 2 hours.
- Punch the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces (85 grams each).
- Pinch the edges of the small dough ball into the middle, forming a small pouch. Place the ball, seam side down on a clean work surface, your hand over it and lightly roll into a ball.
- Place each ball on parchment paper and cover and let it rest for 30-40 minutes.
- Heat the frying oil to 180 degrees Celsius. Place a maximum of 2 donuts at a time, to give it space to rise and puff up. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Remove from the oil and let it drain the excess oil on paper towels or a wire rack.
- While still warm, toss them in white sugar and make sure they are well covered.
- Allow them to cool completely before filling them with jam.
- Insert the pastry tip into the side of each donut and firmly squeeze a few tablespoons of jam into the center.
- Serve while warm!
