Strawberry Bombs – A Delightful Sweet Treat
Instructions
Step One Prepare the Dough
In a small bowl dissolve the dry yeast in warm milk and let it sit for five minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl combine the flour sugar and a pinch of salt.
Add the egg and the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients.
Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic about ten minutes.
Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for about one hour or until doubled in size.
Step Two Shape the Doughnuts
Once the dough has risen roll it out on a floured surface to about one half inch thickness.
Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the dough.
Place the dough circles on a baking sheet cover them with a towel and let them rise for another thirty minutes.
Step Three Fry the Doughnuts
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit.
Fry the doughnuts in small batches for about two minutes per side or until golden brown.
Remove and place them on a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step Four Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl whip the heavy cream powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries.
Step Five Assemble the Strawberry Bombs
Slice each fried doughnut in half but do not cut all the way through.
Spread a layer of strawberry jam inside if using.
Pipe or spoon the whipped cream and strawberry mixture into the center of each doughnut.
Close the doughnuts and dust with powdered sugar on top.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
Serve as a decadent dessert for brunch or a party.
Tips for Perfect Strawberry Bombs
Make sure the oil is at the right temperature to prevent greasy or undercooked doughnuts.
For extra flavor add a hint of lemon zest to the whipped cream.
If you prefer baked doughnuts brush the dough rounds with melted butter and bake at three hundred seventy five degrees Fahrenheit for fifteen minutes.
