The Technical Challenge for Week 7 was an 80’s themed challenge, Jam and Custard Doughnuts! This classic doughnut is found in so many British Bakeries. This was a great challenge to practice the bakers frying skills as you can easily over or under bake these doughnuts. Frying these in an electric deep fat fryer makes things a lot easier and will prevent this issue as the temperature is constantly regulated. The filling is a Crème Mousseline which is rich and creamy and to top it off these doughnuts are decorated line a line of strawberry jam to add a little bit of sweetness!

Bomboloni (Italian Doughnuts) filled with Nutella Ganache
Bombolonis are Italian doughnuts that are shaped into round balls. These Bombolonis are coated in cinnamon sugar and are filled with a Nutella Ganache.
