Ingredients
For the donuts:

Step by Step
Prepare the dough:
In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in warm milk. Sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Add flour, salt, melted butter, egg, and remaining sugar. Knead until smooth. Rise until doubled in size.
Shape and fry doughnuts:
On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/2 inch thick. Cut doughnuts and let rise again.

Make filling:
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Fold in strawberry jam.
Fill doughnuts:
Once cooled, poke a hole in the side of each doughnut. Pipe in strawberry cheesecake filling.
