BAKED DOUGHNUTS

Yields25 Servings

 275 ml milk
 50 g cold butter diced
 500 g strong white flour
 7 g dried yeast
 75 g caster sugar
 1 ½ tsp salt
 1 egg beaten
 A little oil for greasing
For the filling and topping
 100g melted butter
 100g caster sugar
 Raspberry jam or chocolate spread
1

Bring the milk to the boil, then remove from the heat and add the butter; leave to cool until it reaches hand temperature; mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a big bowl; mix the milk and the beaten egg into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon

2

Tip the dough onto a surface that has been dusted with flour and knead for 10 minutes; lightly grease the mixing bowl with some oil and return the dough to the bowl; cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rise until it has doubled in size – up to 2 hours

3

Knock back the dough by gently kneading just five times to get the air out; cut the dough into 25 even pieces, using weighing scales if necessary and roll into balls; place on to lightly greased backing sheets and leave enough space between each one to grow

4

Cover the doughnuts again with a tea towel and leave to prove until doubled in size; preheat the oven to 190C/Gas5; half fill a roasting tray with boiling water and place in the base of the oven

5

Bake the doughnuts for 12-15 minutes until risen and dark golden; let them cool for a few minutes, then brush with the melted butter and roll them in the sugar; spoon some raspberry jam or chocolate ganache into a piping bag; make a hole in each doughnut, push in the nozzle and squeeze in a little jam or chocolate inside; serve warm
