Donut Stuffed with Strawberry Cream: A Sweet Breakfast Delight

Prepare the Donut Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and active dry yeast. Allow it to rest for approximately 5 minutes until it develops a frothy layer.
Add the granulated sugar, egg, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well.

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the Donuts:
After the dough has expanded, gently deflate it to release any trapped air.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ½-inch thickness.
Use a round cutter (about 3 inches in diameter) to cut out the donuts.
Place the cut-out donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Fry the Donuts:
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the donuts to the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each side for about 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Prepare the Strawberry Cream Filling:
In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold in the strawberry jam and vanilla extract until well combined.
Fill the Donuts:
Once the donuts have cooled slightly, use a small knife or a piping nozzle to make a hole in the side of each donut.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip with the strawberry cream.
Pipe the strawberry cream into each donut until filled generously.
Serve:
Dust the donuts with powdered sugar if desired.
Serve the strawberry cream-filled donuts fresh and enjoy!
