Ingredients:

For the Donuts:

1 cup milk, warmed

2 teaspoons active dry yeast

2 tablespoons sugar

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

For the Filling:

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup strawberry jam

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in the warmed milk.

Let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Add the flour, salt, melted butter, egg, and remaining sugar to the yeast mixture.

Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

2. Form and Fry Donuts:

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Use a donut cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out donut shapes.

Place the cut donuts on a baking sheet, cover with a cloth, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).

Fry the donuts in batches until they are golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Drain the donuts on paper towels to remove excess oil.

3. Make the Filling:

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Fold in the strawberry jam until well combined.

4. Fill the Donuts:

Once the donuts are cooled, make a hole in the side of each donut using a piping nozzle or a small knife.

Pipe the strawberry cheesecake filling into each donut.

5. Prepare the Glaze:

In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Drizzle the glaze over the filled donuts.

6. Serve:

Allow the glaze to set slightly before serving.
