Brioche Doughnuts with Blackberry Jam Filling
Yield 10 to 12 doughnuts

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (divided)
  • 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 tablespoon Red Star Quick Rise Yeast
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/4 cup warm water (120-130°F)
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened and cut into cubes)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 cup seedless blackberry jam (for filling)
  • Powdered sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  • In large bowl or bowl of stand mixer fitted with dough hook attachment, stir 2 3/4 cups flour, nonfat dry milk, sugar, salt and yeast until combined. Add eggs, egg yolk, warm water and butter. Stir just until dough forms.
  • On lightly floured surface, knead dough by hand 10 to 15 minutes, adding just enough of remaining 1/4 cup flour until dough is soft, smooth and elastic; OR, knead dough in stand mixer with dough hook on low speed 10 minutes, adding just enough of remaining 1/4 cup flour until dough is soft, smooth and elastic.
  • Shape dough into ball. Place in large lightly greased bowl; turn once to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rise 1 hour in warm place. Transfer to fridge and chill 8 hours or overnight (no longer than 12 hours).
  • Punch down risen dough. On lightly floured surface, press dough into 1/2-inch thick circle. Use 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut dough into doughnuts (you may re-press the scraps once to cut more doughnuts). Place doughnuts on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with towel and let rise 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 inches oil in large saucepan over medium heat until candy thermometer reads 350°F. When doughnuts are fully risen, use slotted spoon to drop 2 to 3 into hot oil. Fry on both sides until deep golden brown. Remove with slotted spoon and transfer to paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet. Repeat with remaining doughnuts.
  • Use #230 round decorating dip to pipe blackberry jam filling into doughnuts. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
