Ingredients
- 350 grams Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 50 grams Granulated Sugar
- 10 grams Instant Yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 250 milliliters Milk (Lactose-Free if needed)
- 50 grams Unsalted Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Egg
- 1000 milliliters Vegetable Oil (for frying)
- 50 grams Powdered Sugar
- 200 grams Fruit Jam (your choice)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Warm the milk slightly (to about body temperature) and melt the butter gently in a small saucepan or microwave. Be careful not to overheat them.
Step 3
In the center of the dry ingredients, make a well and pour in the warm milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and the egg. Stir until the mixture comes together to form a dough.
Step 4
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is smooth enough to be kneaded. Knead the dough gently in the bowl for about 5 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Step 6
Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it and roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1 cm thick.
Step 7
Cut out rounds using a 7 cm cookie cutter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes. They should puff slightly.
Step 8
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F). Carefully fry the doughnuts, a few at a time, for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Step 9
Remove the doughnuts and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Step 10
Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, use a squeeze bottle or piping bag to fill each doughnut with your choice of fruit jam.
Step 11
Dust the filled doughnuts with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free Berliners!
