Ingredients:
5 cups of All Purpose Flour, plus a bit more if the dough is sticky
2 (7gr) Envelopes of Yeast
1/3 cup of Granulated Sugar
1-1/2 cups of Whole Milk, warmed to about 115 degrees
1/4 cup of Unsalted Butter, melted
1/4 cup of Shortening, melted
2 Eggs
3/4 tsp of Salt

You'll Need:

4 to 4 1/2 cups white bread flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 ounce (.6 ounce) cake fresh yeast or 1 envelope dry
active yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons)
1 cup lukewarm milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus more for dusting
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup preserves of choice
Vegetable oil, for frying
Cinnamon and sugar, for rolling doughnuts

Procedures : In the bowl of a mixer, combine 4 cups flour and salt. Add the yeast.

In a small bowl, combine the milk and 2 tablespoons sugar. Add with the remaining milk to the flour. (If using dry yeast, mix the yeast with 2 tablespoons of the milk and 2 tablespoons sugar and let sit until foamy, about 5 to 10 minutes and add to the flour.)

Add the eggs and butter to the flour mixture. Begin to mix the ingredients into a soft, but not sticky, dough. Add a little extra milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. Work in extra flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. (You can do this in a mixer fitted with a dough hook.) Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.

Punch down the risen dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few seconds. With a lightly floured rolling pin, gradually roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. When rolling dough, let it rest periodically to relax. Cut out into 3- to 4-inch rounds with a lightly floured biscuit cutter. Re-roll the scraps to make more rounds. Place the doughnuts on lightly floured baking sheets, spacing them apart, and cover lightly with a dry towel. Let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 20 minutes.

Transfer the risen doughnuts to a heavy pot filled 3 inches high with vegetable oil at 350 degrees F. Fry the doughnuts, a few at a time, until golden and puffed, turning frequently, 5 to 7 minutes.

Lift the doughnuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and roll on a plate lined with granulated sugar and cinnamon mixed together. Let cool slightly and fill a pastry bag, fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip with jelly preserves. Insert the tip into the end of each doughnut and pipe approximately 1 to 2 teaspoons preserves into them and serve.
