     Title: Oswald Rivera's Berliner/Paczki/Jelly Donuts
Categories: Breads, Fruits
     Yield: 15 servings

   1/2 oz (2 env) active dry yeast
   1/2 c  Warm water
     1 c  Warm milk
   3/4 c  Sugar
   1/2 ts Vanilla extract
   1/2 ts Salt
     4 c  A-P flour; more for dusting
   1/3 c  Butter; softened
     5 c  Oil for frying; more for
          - coating a bowl
13 1/2 oz Jar strawberry or fruit jam
          Powdered sugar; for
          - finishing

 In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and
 let it stand for about 5 minutes or until foamy.

 In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture, milk, sugar,
 vanilla, salt, and flour. Mix the ingredients until
 smooth and soft but not sticky. If using a mixer, mix on
 low speed for a few minutes until a shaggy dough forms.
 Add the butter, increase speed to medium, and mix until
 dough is smooth.

 Grease another large bowel with oil. Form the dough into
 a ball. Place dough in the bowl, turning to coat with
 oil. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Set aside
 in a warm spot and let rise until doubled in size, about
 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

 Lightly flour a baking sheet or surface (a large wooden
 square block is perfect for this). Turn the dough onto
 the floured surface and, using a rolling pin, roll out
 until about 1/2" thick. Using a lightly floured 2" round
 biscuit cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible
 (should have 25 or more). Place on a lightly floured
 sheet or surface, spacing them apart. Again, loosely
 cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let rise
 until doubled in size, about 20-30 minutes.

 Heat the oil in a deep-fryer, large skillet, or large
 pot to 350°F/175°C. Using a flat spatula, carefully
 slide the dough rounds into the hot oil and, working in
 batches to avoid overcrowding, fry until they rise to
 the surface, then turn over and fry until puffy and
 golden brown (2-3 minutes). Drain on paper towels.

 When the donuts have cooled, using a paring knife, cut a
 small slit in the side of the donut, and fill this
 center with jelly (about 1 tablespoon), using a pastry
 injector, syringe, piping bag, or small spoon. Sprinkle
 with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
