Urban Monk: Blueberry Protein Donuts
Macros: Protein 83g/Carbs 257g/Fat 17g/ Fiber 4g/ Calories 1568
2 cups (240grams) all purpose flour
1 packet active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
1/2 cup warm non fat milk
1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 scoops Casein Powder, Vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
about 1/2 cup blueberries
A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
1. Place ¼ cup of the warm milk in the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk. Let sit for 5 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of milk with the sugar and butter. Add it to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine. Add the egg and stir until incorporated. Add the flour, nutmeg or cinnamon, casein and salt and stir until the dough starts to form. Change to the dough hook and knead for until the dough starts to become smooth. If the dough is too sticky, slowly add a tablespoon or two more flour until it is no longer sticky.
3. Transfer to the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic and has formed a ball. Place the dough ball in a large lightly greased bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
4. When the dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface until ½ thick. Using a doughnut cutter (if you don’t have a doughnut cutter, you can use 2 biscuit cutters – 1 that is about 3 inches, and the other that is about 2 inches for the inner circle) cut out the doughnuts until you have no dough left.
5. Place the doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper, about 2 inches apart. Press blueberries on top of donuts. Cover with a clean towel and let sit for about 45 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven 375 degrees F.
7. Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Be careful to not overbake these. You want them to be light and doughy inside.
