Ingredients
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams whey protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 7 grams active dry yeast
- 180 milliliters warm milk
- 1 large egg
- 30 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 30 grams sugar
- 5 grams salt
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil for frying
- 50 grams sugar (for coating)
- 200 grams your choice of high-protein jam
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is frothy.
Step 2
Add the flour, protein powder, sugar, salt, egg, and melted butter to the bowl.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Step 5
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air. Roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness on a floured surface.
Step 6
Using a doughnut cutter or a glass, cut out rounds of dough and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking tray.
Step 7
Cover the cut doughnuts with a towel and let them rise again for another 30 minutes.
Step 8
While the doughnuts are rising, heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large pot to 175°C (350°F).
Step 9
Carefully place a few doughnuts at a time into the hot oil, frying them for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
Step 10
Remove the doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
Step 11
While the doughnuts are still warm, roll them in the sugar until fully coated.
Step 12
Using a small filling nozzle or a long piping tip, fill each doughnut with about 15 grams of your chosen high-protein jam.
Step 13
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
