Ingredients
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 7 grams active dry yeast
- 125 milliliters skim milk
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 grams raspberry jam
- 30 grams powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Warm the skim milk until it is lukewarm (about 35°C or 95°F) and mix it with the active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar. Set aside for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining granulated sugar, and salt.
Step 3
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
Once the yeast mixture is foamy, add it to the flour mixture along with the melted butter, egg, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
Step 5
Mix the dough ingredients using a wooden spoon or your hands until a smooth dough forms. Turn it onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 7
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
Step 8
Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them again and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Step 9
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Once the doughnuts have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
Step 10
Allow the doughnuts to cool slightly. Using a piping bag fitted with a small nozzle, fill each doughnut with approximately 2 teaspoons of raspberry jam by injecting it into the side of each doughnut.
Step 11
Dust each Berliner with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
