Ingredients
- 240 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 320 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 60 grams vegan butter
- 1 liter vegetable oil
- 200 grams your favorite fruit jelly
- 50 grams powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a small pot, gently warm the almond milk until lukewarm (about 37°C/98°F).
Step 2
Transfer the warm almond milk to a mixing bowl and sprinkle in the active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a rough dough begins to form.
Step 4
Melt the vegan butter and add it to the dough. Knead the mixture in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 6
Punch down the dough to deflate it and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thickness.
Step 7
Use a round cookie cutter (approximately 7 cm/2.75 inches in diameter) to cut out donut shapes. Re-roll any scraps of dough to cut additional donuts.
Step 8
Place the cut rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let them rest for about 20 minutes.
Step 9
In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (356°F). Carefully fry each donut for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 10
Remove the donuts from the oil with a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels.
Step 11
Once slightly cooled, use a piping bag filled with your favorite fruit jelly to fill each donut. Poke a hole in the side of each donut and squeeze half a tablespoon of jelly inside.
Step 12
Dust the finished donuts with powdered sugar before serving.
