Ingredients

Scale

For the Donuts

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • Oil for frying

For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, pureed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy cream, whipped

For the Coating

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

Make the Donut Dough

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow this mixture to sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the melted butter and eggs until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the Dough: Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  5. First Rise: Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Notes

  • Temperature Control: Ensure your milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Dough Consistency: For a soft and fluffy texture, knead the dough just until it’s smooth without overworking it.
  • Proper Frying: Use a thermometer to maintain a steady oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for even frying.
