Peanut paste and berries;
Creamy chocolate cream;
Any thick jams, jams and confections;
Banana puree and crushed chocolate;
Caramel with apple slices;
Ice cream (vanilla, with chocolate chips, with nuts).

On top of the donuts, you can pour black / white / milk chocolate, caramel, bright glaze or fruit jelly. With the help of a pastry syringe, you can draw stripes and streaks on ready-made donuts.

Unsweetened fillings can be placed inside, spread on top or cut a doughnut in half, adding them to the middle.

Ingredients:

Soy milk 1/2 cup
Water 1/2 cup
Fresh yeast 2.12 oz
Yolks 2 pcs.
Butter or margarine 1 tablespoon
Flour 13.05 oz
Sugar 2 tablespoons
Salt to taste
Powdered sugar to taste
Vegetable oil for deep frying

Instruction:

Cooking time is one hour

To start, we warm up soy milk. (If you don’t like it, you can take cow’s milk.) Add water to it, a teaspoon of sugar and heat everything together to a temperature of 84 F.

Pour a warm mixture of fresh yeast and mix. (In this recipe, it is important to take fresh yeast.) We
leave the yeast for 5-10 minutes until a “cap” is formed.

Meanwhile, sift the flour into a bowl. Separate the yolks, add to the flour. Add soft butter. Add sugar, a pinch of salt, vanilla. Pour in the yeast mixture. Knead with a mixer – nozzles for the dough. Sprinkle the table with flour. Knead the dough with your hands a little more.

Add a drop of vegetable oil, knead a little more and leave the dough alone until it rises twice. The dough has risen. We roll it out into a layer, no thicker than a centimeter. We cut out donuts in a round shape. If there is no form, you can use a glass, etc.

We leave the cut circles to melt for 15 minutes they should rise twice. Heat the oil to a temperature of no more than 180 degrees and fry the donuts in boiling oil. We take out the donuts, put them on a paper napkin to remove excess oil, and load the next portion.

Decorate with powdered sugar. We pour it into a strainer, and sift it from a height-sprinkle donuts. So it turns out neatly, evenly and beautifully. You can fill donuts with chocolate filling (or your favorite jam). Bon Appetit!

How to cook rugelah (cottage cheese cookie roll):

Butter at room temperature is well ground with two tablespoons of sugar. Add soft cottage cheese, rub again.

Assemble the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes. Sprinkle the table with flour, roll out the curd dough into a rectangle.

Spread the dough evenly with thick jam. Sprinkle the dough with raisins. Add walnuts.

Roll the curd dough with the filling into a tight roll and transfer to a baking sheet with parchment paper, laying the roll cut down. Lubricate the roll with milk. Sprinkle the roll with the remaining sugar (1 tbsp. l.) and cinnamon.

With a knife, make incisions on the roll, 3/4 of the depth of the roll. Bake a roll of cottage cheese dough in a preheated 356F oven for 35-45 minutes.

Curd roll with jam, nuts and raisins to cool completely, then cut according to the planned cuts into separate cookie rolls. Bon Appetit!
