These melt-in-your-mouth, BAKED JELLY DONUTS are s

These melt-in-your-mouth, BAKED JELLY DONUTS are soft, fluffy, spongy and airy. These fresh, homemade doughnuts are coated in sugar and filled with sweet strawberry jam. And since they are baked and not deep-fried, as donuts typically are, I like to think they are healthier for you. Who is with me? ⁠

⁠
INGREDIENTS:⁠
✓ all-purpose flour⁠
✓ instant yeast ⁠
✓ granulated sugar⁠
✓ salt⁠
✓ milk ⁠
✓ butter ⁠
✓ egg⁠
✓ vanilla extract⁠
✓ strawberry jam⁠
⁠
INSTRUCTIONS:⁠
1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, instant yeast, sugar and salt. Add milk, half the butter, egg, and vanilla. Stir well to combine. Cover and let dough rest at room temperature for 15- 20 minutes.⁠
2. Transfer dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes. Cover and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, knead for another 5 minutes until smooth and supple. Transfer dough back to the bowl and cover. Let it rise for 1 hour or until the dough doubles in size.⁠
3. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and roll it out into an 8x10 inch rectangle, 1/2-inch thick. Cut out circles using a round 2.5-inch cookie cutter.⁠
4. Place the donuts on a lined baking sheet, and sprinkle with a little flour. Cover and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. ⁠
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes in a 375 F preheated oven, or until the donuts are lightly golden in colour. Then immediately brush the freshly baked donuts with the remaining melted butter and lightly roll them in a shallow dish of sugar to coat.⁠
6. Fill a pastry piping bag fitted with a round piping tip with strawberry jam. Use a knife to make a deep slit on one side of each donut. Place the pastry tip into the slit and slowly pipe jam into each donut.⁠

Quick and easy SMALL BATCH STRAWBERRY JAM is so si

Quick and easy SMALL BATCH STRAWBERRY JAM is so simple to make in one pot with just 3 ingredients and no pectin. It's bright, sweet, and addictive. Seriously, try it once and see how hard it will be to go back to store-bought jam. Spread this jam on toast and pancakes, drizzle it on ice cream, or just eat it by the spoon. I mean it's that good.⁠

𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐖𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐉𝐀𝐌⁠
⁠
INGREDIENTS:⁠
✓ fresh strawberries⁠ @bcstrawberries⁠
✓ sugar⁠
✓ lemon juice⁠
⁠
INSTRUCTIONS:⁠
⁠
1. In a medium saucepan, add the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice. Stir well to dissolve the sugar. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. You will notice the strawberries start to feel mushy and the juice coming out.⁠
2. Cook the strawberry mixture over medium low heat. Stir continuously and slowly bring the mixture to a boil. The mixture will get foamy. Continue to boil for about 15 minutes, or until the jam starts to thicken and its internal temperature reaches 220 F. A digital thermometer is very helpful to get the quick measurement. You will also notice the foam disappear at this point.⁠
3. Turn off the heat and keep stirring to cool it down a bit. Pour the jam into a mason jar and allow to cool down to room temperature. Seal the jar and store in the refrigerator.⁠
