Baked Berliner – Jam Filled Doughnuts

What do you do when someone is craving for doughnuts but you don’t have no oil to fry? Baked doughnuts it is then, sorry baby ❤️

Little babe loves fried doughnuts, who doesn’t, right? But he was pretty happy with the baked ones, so all was good. He preferred them doughnuts unfilled though, so it’s like he was just eating buns ????

I didn’t think to shape the doughnuts into rings as I thought I’d fill them with jam and turned them into Berliner, but apparently he just wanted some sweet bread.

I used pastry & cake flour mixed with all purpose, you can use only all purpose or even bread flour. I needed to use up my pastry & cake flour in the pantry, so I mixed it with all purpose flour.

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 c coconut milk beverage (not canned coconut for cooking/baking)
• 1/4 c sugar
• 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
• 2 c AP flour mixed with 1 1/4 c pastry & cake flour (all AP flour and bread flour would give fluffier donuts either baked or fried FYI)
• a pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp vegan margarine
• Strawberry jam
• Icing sugar

How To

• Heat coconut milk beverage to lukewarm (40 seconds microwaved)
• Stir in sugar into milk, sprinkle milk with yeast, let stand for 5 minutes until bloomed
• Mix flour, salt in a bowl, cut in margarine, make a well in center

• Pour bloomed yeast into flour and knead
• Cover with cling wrap and let rise for 45 mins

• Punch down dough and knead a little, then roll flat but not thin, cut into circles
• Let rise again for 30 minutes

• Preheat oven to 350 F and bake for 25 mins
• Cool on rack
• Poke holes on donuts side and fill with jam (microwave enough jam for 20 seconds, stir, then fill)
• Coat donuts with icing sugar

Ta-daaaaa ?
