These Berliner Breakfast Bun Donuts are a delectable and decadent treat ideal for a lazy weekend brunch. These donuts are soft and fluffy, filled with sweet strawberry jam, and dusted with a light coating of confectioners' sugar.

Ingredients

1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup of warm water
1 egg
1/4 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of strawberry jam
1/2 tsp of salt
1/4 cup of unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup of warm milk
3 cups all-purpose flour

Time Needed

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

Instructions

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes, or until frothy.
Combine the yeast mixture, warm milk, sugar, salt, egg, and melted butter in a large mixing bowl.
Stir in the flour gradually until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for 6-8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch and cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter.
Place the rounds on a greased baking sheet and cover with a damp cloth for 30 minutes.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375 degrees F.
Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Donuts should be drained on a plate lined with paper towels.
Fill a piping bag halfway with strawberry jam and squeeze the tip into each donut to fill with jam.
Before serving, roll the donuts in confectioners' sugar.
