- The filling leaked out, what did I do wrong?
- You didn't seal the edges tightly enough, or you used too much filling. An egg white wash can help glue the edges.
- Can I use canned peaches?
- Yes, but drain them very thoroughly, as excess juice will make the dough soggy.

The taste of summer captured in a donut. This recipe combines classic filled donuts with the flavor of fresh peaches. The dough is a rich, buttery yeast dough (brioche style), and the filling is a mix of chunky peaches and jam that bursts with every bite. Pure indulgence.

Instructions
1
✓
Knead the dough: mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast, then add milk, eggs, and vanilla. Once combined, knead in the soft butter.
Tip: Adding butter at the end prevents it from inhibiting gluten formation early on. You'll get a silky, shiny dough.

✓
Cover and proof for 1 hour.
Tip: It doubles in size in a warm place.
3
✓
Mix the peach cubes with the jam.
Tip: If the jam is runny, boil it down a bit beforehand.
4
✓
Roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out an even number of circles.
Tip: Flour the board to prevent sticking.
5

Place a teaspoon of filling on half of the circles. Wet the edges, place an empty dough circle on top, and press edges thoroughly to seal.
Tip: A hermetic seal is key!
