Method
Follow bag directions for mixing and floor time.
Cut into five-pound presses and round up or roll out and cut
with a Bismarck (fill) cutter, then round by hand. Unit weight should be 65 g
(2.25 oz.).
Place on doughnut screen.
Proof paczki slightly larger then normal Bismarck doughnut.
Proofing times will vary.
Fill with approximately 1.5 to 1.75 ounces of fillings.
Weight will vary depending on type of filling. Paczkis are a high-quality
doughnut and should be filled with the maximum amount of filling.
Finish paczki with doughnut sugar, doughnut glaze or
granulated sugar depending on type of filling.
The traditional paczki filling was prune compote. Today’s
tastes lean more toward strawberry, lemon and cream fillings.
