Recipe: Breadmaker Kitchener Buns {Jam & Cream Filled Donuts}

April 23, 2020

Summary: Kitchener buns are South Australian delicacy found in all good bakeries. Basically a local take on a Berliner donut but rolled in sugar, cut open and filled with jam & cream. They are one of my most favourite bakery treats. 

I use the bread maker to make the dough because it’s super easy but if you don’t have a bread maker, this article explains the by hand method. I also use an electric deep fryer (hot chips are life!) and vegetable oil, the saucepan method works just as well and you can find info on that here. 

Ingredients

For the buns

  • 1 1/3 cups milk, heated to 45C
  • 45g butter, melted & slightly cooled
  • 1 large egg
  • 240g bread flour
  • 240g plain flour
  • 150g castor sugar
  • 1 tsp table salt
  • 4 1/2 tsp instant yeast
  • Oil for deep frying 

Fillings & toppings

  • 1 cup castor sugar, for rolling
  • 235g raspberry jam*
  • 600ml whipped & sweetened to taste

Instructions 

  1. Add the ingredients to the bread pan in the order indicated and select the dough cycle. 
  2. When the cycle is complete remove the dough from the bread pan onto a floured surface. Roll out into a 1.25cm or 1/2 inch thickness.
  3. Take a 7.5cm or 3inch round cookie cutter or a glass and cut rounds out of the flattened dough. Gather up the excess and re-roll and cut until all of the dough is used up.
  4. The dough has already risen once in the bread machine but it needs a second rise. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let the dough rounds rise for 30 to 45 minutes.
  5. Heat the oil in either and electric fryer or a large, deep saucepan or pot. Heat the oil to 175° C. Place the doughnuts into the oil carefully with a large slotted spoon until you have a layer of doughnuts floating on the top of the oil. Fry for two minutes per side.
  6. When done, remove from the oil with the slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Roll in extra sugar while still warm.
  7. Allow them to cool & slice into the donut. Spoon in as much jam as desired. Fit a piping bag or a plastic bag and fill with whipped cream. Fill each donut with cream and serve.
  8. Makes approx. 24

Notes

I am obsessed with the Bonne Maman intense jams because they are less sweet & more strongly flavoured. I used a whole jar of the raspberry one for these buns. I found the intense jams in Foodland.
