# Instructions:

In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in warm milk. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add flour, salt, melted butter, egg, and the remaining sugar. Knead the dough until smooth. Let it rise until doubled in size.

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out donuts and let them rise again. Fry the donuts in 375°F (190°C) oil until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.

Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the strawberry jam.

Once the donuts are cooled, make a hole in the side of each. Pipe in the strawberry cheesecake filling.

Mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a glaze. Drizzle it over the filled donuts for a sweet finishing touch.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure the yeast is properly activated for light and fluffy donuts.

Allow the donuts to cool fully before filling to avoid melting the cheesecake mixture.
