Salt
Warm milk
Unsalted butter
Large egg
Vanilla extract
Cream cheese
Creamy peanut butter
Powdered sugar

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix warm milk and yeast; let it sit until bubbly.
- Add the milk mixture, unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms and knead until smooth.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
- Once risen, roll out the dough and cut out donut shapes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and let the donuts rest for 15 minutes before baking.
- Bake the donuts for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool completely.
- In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream or milk until smooth. Fill the cooled donuts with this mixture.
- Drizzle melted peanut butter on top, garnish with chopped peanuts if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure to soften the cream cheese for a smooth filling. Adjust the sweetness of the filling depending on your preference.
