JELLY DONUTS

Steps:

• Whisk together flours. Combine water and milk in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment, then sprinkle yeast over top. Stir in 1 cup flour mixture. Cover with plastic wrap; let stand in a warm place until bubbling and doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Add egg and yolk, granulated sugar, salt, and remaining flour mixture. Beat on medium speed 3 minutes. Continue beating while adding butter, a few pieces at a time, beating to combine after each addition. When all butter has been added, keep beating until a shiny, sticky dough forms around hook, about 4 minutes more. Scrape down sides of bowl.
• Cover dough with plastic wrap. Let stand in a warm place until almost doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 24.
• Cut out 9 three-inch squares of parchment. Spray a baking sheet with oil; arrange parchment squares in a single layer. Spray parchment. Transfer dough to a lightly floured baking sheet; pat out 1/2 inch thick. Using a floured 2 3/4-inch round cutter, cut out about 9 rounds. Transfer to parchment squares. Drape with oil-sprayed plastic wrap and let stand in a warm spot until slightly more than doubled in bulk and very soft, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, pour oil into a large, deep, heavy pot, such as a Dutch oven, until it reaches 2 inches up side, leaving about 2 1/2 inches headroom. Clip a deep- fry thermometer to pot and heat oil over medium to 350 degrees to 360 degrees. Working in batches of 3 so as not to crowd pot, carefully use parchment to transfer donuts to hot oil and cook, flipping a few times, until puffed and golden brown all over, 2 to 3 minutes total for donuts (1 1/2 to 2 minutes for holes), maintaining oil temperature between 350 degrees and 360 degrees at all times. Transfer donuts to a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet; let cool completely.
• Fill a pastry bag fitted with a coupler and a Bismarck piping tip (such as Ateco #231) with jelly. Fill each donut with about 2 teaspoons jelly (it should puff slightly in center). Dust with confectioners' sugar.

EASY QUICK SUFGANIYOT, JELLY DONUTS

Steps:

• Mix the yeast, 2 tablespoons warm water and sugar in a small bowl, and leave to stand till bubbly.
• Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.
• Rub the butter or margarine into the flour (the kids will LOVE doing this).
• Make a well in the flour mixture (I always skip this part) and add the yeast mixture, the beaten egg and just enough of the warm milk/water to make a soft dough.
• Beat well and kneed for 5 minutes on a floured board.
• Divide into 12 pieces (If you prefer an American vs. dainty British size, divide into 9).
• Kneed each piece and place apart on a greased and floured tin (or a sheet of foil, or your mixing bowl!).
• Brush with water and place in (or cover with) a greased plastic bag.
• Leave until they have doubled in size (about 45 minutes to an hour) (perfect timing to light, and sit by, the menorah).
• Fry in oil that is not too hot 350F-360F, (huh? I don't own a kitchen thermometer! But it's hot enough when a TINY droplet of water skims across the surface. I use enough oil to cover 1/3 of the sufganiyot) turning over once to brown both sides, about 3 minutes.
• Drain on absorbent paper.
• When cool enough to handle, but not to cool, insert the jelly in the middle. I use one teaspoon (5 ml) and put it in with a syringe. (You can alternatively use the handle of a spoon to make a hole in the side of the doughnut and spoon in the jelly, or put the jelly in a little baggie, make a hole in the corner and squeeze it into the hole.).
• Sprinkle on confectioners sugar. (and go return the store-bought doughnuts. They just won't pass muster after you taste these!).

GLUTEN-FREE SUFGANIYOT - JELLY DONUTS FOR CHANUKAH

Steps:

• Beat 2 eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter in a large bowl with a whisk.
• Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Fold slowly into the wet ingredients, mixing by hand with a wooden spoon. When the ingredients are mostly combined, use your hands to knead a few times to make sure the ingredients are fully incorporated.
• Let the dough rest for 15 minutes. Sprinkle extra rice flour mix on your countertop or a large cutting board. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick. If dough is sticky, work in more rice flour blend.
• Heat 2 inches of canola oil until very hot (375 degrees F).
• Use a glass, biscuit cutter or jar with approximately 3-inch diameter to cut disks out of the dough. Place 1/2 teaspoon of jelly in the center of one disk. Brush the beaten egg you've set aside around the outer edge of the dough. Place a second disk of dough on top, and use your fingers to crimp the edges until they are sealed. Repeat until you've used up all the dough. Remaining dough scraps can be rolled into balls ("donut holes") and fried.
• Carefully place sufganiyot in hot oil with a slotted spatula. Cook until very brown on one side. If necessary, turn the donut over and brown on the second side. Remove from oil and place on a plate lined with two layers of paper towel or brown paper. While warm, roll sufganiyot in the bowl of sugar to coat.
• Serve while warm.

SUFGANIYOT, ISRAELI JELLY DONUTS RECIPE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Place the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk to combine. Add the yolks and milk, then mix, using the hook attachment, on medium-low speed until a shaggy dough forms, about 1 minute. Add the butter, increase the speed to medium high, and mix until the dough is smooth, shiny, and elastic, about 5 minutes. Coat a large bowl with oil. Form the dough into a ball, place in the bowl, and turn to coat in the oil. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Lightly flour a baking sheet; set aside. Punch down the dough, transfer to a lightly floured work surface, and roll until about 1/4 inch thick. Using a 2-inch round cutter, stamp out as many dough rounds as possible and place on the prepared baking sheet about a 1/2-inch apart. Gather the dough scraps into a ball and roll out again, stamping rounds until you have 30 total on the baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let rise in a warm place until puffy and about 1/2-inch thick, about 30 minutes. Place the vegetable or canola oil in a Dutch oven or a large, heavy-bottomed pot, and set over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F on a candy/fat thermometer. Meanwhile, line a second baking sheet with paper towels and place a wire rack over the paper towels; set aside. Place the jam or jelly in a piping bag fitted with a 1/4-inch round tip; set aside. Using a flat spatula (don't use your hands-this will deflate the doughnuts), carefully transfer the dough rounds, one at a time, into the oil. You should be able to fit about 6 at a time, leaving at least 1 inch of space in between and keeping the oil temperature at 350°F. Fry until the bottoms are golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Carefully flip with a fork and fry until the second side is golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes more. If air bubbles appear in the doughnuts, pierce with the tip of a paring knife. Remove with a slotted spoon to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds. When the doughnuts are cool enough to handle, use a paring knife to puncture the side of each to form a pocket in the center. Place the tip of the piping bag into the pocket and pipe about 1 teaspoon of jam or jelly inside. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
