  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp softened butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup softened cream cheese

  • Milk or cream, as needed
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • Milk or water (for glaze)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by dissolving it in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it bloom, about 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together egg, butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, kneading until elastic, about 8 minutes by hand.
  5. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours.
  6. Roll out dough to 1/3 inch thickness and cut into donut shapes.
  7. Place cut donuts on a baking sheet and let them proof for 20 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F and bake the donuts for 10-12 minutes.
  9. Beat together cream cheese and peanut butter, then add powdered sugar and vanilla to achieve a pipe-able filling.
  10. Once donuts are cooled, fill each with the cheesecake-peanut butter mixture.
  11. Make glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  12. Dip donuts into the glaze and garnish with chopped peanuts.
  13. Let set for a few minutes before enjoying.
