Directions

Dissolve Yeast

In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in warm milk. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

Prepare Dough

Add flour, salt, melted butter, egg, and the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Knead until smooth. Cover the dough and let it rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).

Cut Donuts

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a donut cutter or round cutter to cut out the donuts. Let them rise again for another 15-20 minutes.

Fry Donuts

Heat oil to 375°F (190°C) in a deep pan. Fry the donuts in batches until golden brown on each side. Drain on paper towels and let cool completely.

Make Filling

To make the filling: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the strawberry jam gently.

Fill Donuts

Once the donuts are cool, make a small hole in the side of each donut. Pipe the strawberry cheesecake filling inside each donut.

Make Glaze

To make the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the filled donuts.
