**Creating a Giant Jelly-Filled Donut: A Step-by-Step Guide**
Welcome back, everyone! My name is [Your Name], and I want to thank you all for being here. It’s incredible to see so many of you joining our journey, and today marks a special milestone—2,000 subscribers! To celebrate this achievement, I decided to make something truly gigantic—a giant jelly-filled donut. Not just any ordinary donut, but one filled with that sweet, gooey goodness we all love. Let’s get started!

### Ingredients You’ll Need
Before diving into the fun part, let’s gather everything you’ll need for this delicious project:
- **1/3 cup of sugar**
- **1/2 a bar of melted butter**
- **2 eggs**
- **5 cups of flour**
- **3/4 teaspoon of salt**
- **1 and 1/2 cups of warm milk**
- **2 packets (7 grams each) of instant yeast**
- **A tablespoon of sugar** (for the yeast mixture)
- **Powdered sugar** for dusting
- **Jelly of your choice** to fill the donut

### Step-by-Step Process
1. **Prepping the Mixtures:**
- In a bowl, combine 1/3 cup of sugar, 1/2 a bar of melted butter, and 2 eggs. Mix these ingredients thoroughly and set them aside.
- In another bowl, mix 5 cups of flour with 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Set this mixture aside as well.
- In the third bowl, pour in 1 and 1/2 cups of warm milk. Add 2 packets of instant yeast and a tablespoon of sugar. Mix until the yeast dissolves completely. Let this sit for a while; soon enough, you’ll notice bubbles forming on top, much like foam.
2. **Combining Ingredients:**
- Once the yeast mixture starts to bubble, pour it into the egg mixture. Stir everything together.
- Gradually add the flour and salt mixture to the combined ingredients. Mix until smooth using a whisk, then switch to your hands for a good 10 minutes of kneading. The result should be a doughy, elastic consistency.
3. **Letting It Rise:**
- Place the dough in a bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise for about 20 minutes. You’ll notice it doubles in size during this time.
- If the dough seems too large for your frying pan, feel free to cut it in half. Use one half to create your donut shape.
4. **Frying the Doughnut:**
- After letting the dough rise again (about 20 minutes), carefully scoop it and deep-fry it for around five minutes. Be cautious with the heat—375 degrees proved too high, resulting in a slightly browner finish. Opting for 350 degrees yielded a perfect balance of crunch and softness.
5. **Assembling the Giant Jelly-Filled Donut:**
- Dust your fried doughnut with powdered sugar to give it that classic donut look.
- Use a kebab stick or small tool to create a hole in the center, then flatten the area slightly to make room for the jelly.
- With a frosting bag and tip, carefully fill the center with jelly. Squeeze gently to avoid any messy overflows.
6. **Final Touches:**
- Once filled, your giant jelly-filled donut is ready to be enjoyed! The combination of crunchy exterior and soft interior makes it truly special.

### Reflections and Next Steps
This was an absolute blast to make, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out despite a few minor hiccups along the way. The taste exceeded my expectations—crunchy on the outside, soft inside, and loaded with that sweet jelly filling.
