- Knead the dough on a floured surface until it no longer sticks, then place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rest for about an hour.
- Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness and cut out circles; let them rest on a baking sheet for another 30 minutes.

- Drain on paper towels and coat in white sugar, then fill each donut with strawberry jam using a pastry bag or syringe.
Notes
For variations, consider using different types of jam or substituting ingredients like eggs with applesauce for a vegan option. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze unfilled donuts for 3 months. To retain freshness, fill the donuts with jam just before serving. Remember, a warm oven is ideal for letting the dough rise!
