Step 3
Then add the butter in pieces3and incorporate it with a spatula.

Step 4
Transfer the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and work it until it forms a smooth dough. Let rise for an hour or until doubled in size4.

Step 5
Once the first leavening has finished, divide the dough into 8 pieces of 60 g each, round them with your hands and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper5well spaced from each other.

Step 6
Then cover them with a cloth and let them rise for another two hours6.

Step 7
Get a kitchen thermometer and measure the temperature of the oil: as soon as it reaches 170°C, fry a few donuts at a time until they are golden on both sides7.

Step 8
Dip them while still hot in granulated sugar8, making sure it adheres perfectly.

Step 9
At this point, using a pastry bag, fill them with strawberry jam9or with whatever you prefer.

Step 10
The donuts are ready to be enjoyed10.

Advice
We have chosen to leave the dough neutral to highlight the filling, but if you prefer you can flavor it with grated lemon zest or vanilla extract .

Instead of dry yeast you can use fresh brewer’s yeast : 10 grams will be enough for the doses indicated.
