Sufganiyot Jelly Doughnuts Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the yeast, water and sugar, salt, oil, egg yolks, egg, vanilla and lemon extract.
• Blend well and stir in most of the flour to form a soft dough.
• Knead by hand, machine or in bread machine (dough setting), adding flour as needed.
• The dough should have some body, not too slack, supple, smooth and elastic.
• Place in a greased plastic bag and refrigerate at least 2 to 4 hours or overnight.
• If you are in a hurry, allow dough to rest at least 20 minutes, then proceed.
• If dough has risen at all, punch or flatten down, then pinch off pieces and form into small balls, about the size of golf balls.
• Otherwise, roll dough out to about three-quarters of an inch.
• Using a two and half inch or three inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds.
• Cover and let sit 15 minutes while heating oil.
• In a deep fryer, or heavy dutch oven, heat about four inches of oil or a combination of oil and melted shortening.
• Add the doughnuts to the hot oil (temperature should be about 375 F.) and fry until the undersides are deep brown.
• Turn over once and finish frying the other side.
• Lift doughnuts out using a slotted spoon and drain well on paper towels.
• To fill, make a small opening and spoon in jam or jelly, or just sprinkle lightly with regular or extra fine granulated sugar by shaking doughnuts in a paper bag.
• Test oil temperature: It's a good idea to try frying one doughnut to start with.
• Once the doughnut seems done, take it out and cut it open to see if the inside is cooked.

Steps:

• Sprinkle yeast over warm water and let stand five minutes or until foamy.
• In a large bowl, mix together the yeast mixture, milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and two cups flour. Mix for a few minutes at low speed.
• Beat in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Knead for about five minutes or until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about an hour or a bit longer.
• Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into circles. Let rise again until doubled in bulk.
• Heat 4 cups of oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350. Carefully slide doughnuts into hot oil using a wide spatula. Turn the doughnuts over as they rise to the surface. Doughnuts are ready when both sides are golden brown.
• Fill with 1 T jelly using a pastry injector, or by cutting a small slit in the side of the doughnut and inserting the jelly with a baby spoon. Close tightly; roll in confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Microwave the milk in a small bowl until 105 to 110 degrees F. Stir in the yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk together the flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.
• Add the yeast mixture, butter, vanilla, zest, egg, egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar to the flour mixture. Mix with a spoon until the dough just comes together, about 1 minute. (It's OK if a little of the flour remains loose at the bottom of the bowl, it will all come together while kneading.) Knead the dough on medium speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead into a smooth ball, about 1 minute. Lightly spray the mixing bowl with nonstick cooking spray and return the dough to the bowl; cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently roll out into a 1/2-inch-thick round. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter or drinking glass, cut the rounds out as closely together as possible. Place the rounds about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
• Lightly spray the tops with the cooking spray. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise again until puffed, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. The dough rounds may not increase in size during this proofing, which is fine. The point is to let the dough rest before frying, resulting in pillowy doughnuts.
• To fry the doughnuts: Line a baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels for draining. Put 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl for coating the fried doughnuts.
• Fill a large, heavy bottomed pot with 3 inches vegetable oil (about 8 cups) and insert a deep-fry thermometer. Place over medium-high heat and bring the oil temperature to 345 to 350 degrees F. Do not let the oil get any hotter than 350 degrees or the outside of the doughnuts will burn before the insides are cooked through.
• Working in batches of 3 to 4, carefully slip the dough rounds into the hot oil, being careful not to let the oil splash up. Fry the doughnuts until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to gently flip the doughnuts over and fry until deep golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the doughnuts the paper towel-lined baking sheet. Return the oil to temperature between batches.
• Roll the warm doughnuts in the sugar to coat, then transfer them back to the baking sheet. Using a chopstick or skewer, poke a hole in the top of the donut, wiggling the stick back and forth to form a little pocket. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip with the jam of your choice and gently squeeze about 2 tablespoons into the side of each doughnut until the jam just peaks out from the hole on top. Dust the filled doughnuts with confectioners' sugar, if using, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the yeast and 2 tablespoons of the sugar into the water or milk and stir to dissolve.
• Place the flour on a work surface and make a well in the center. Add the yeast mixture, egg yolks, salt, cinnamon, and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Knead well, about 5 minutes, working the butter or margarine into the dough and kneading until the dough is elastic. You can also use a food processor fitted with the steel blade to do this, processing about 2 minutes.
• Put the dough on a greased bowl, cover with plastic, and let it rise overnight in the refrigerator.
• Sprinkle flour of the work surface. Roll out the dough to an 1/8-inch thickness. using a 2-inch cookie cutter or floured drinking glass, cut out circles. Let the dough circles rise 15 minutes or more.
• With your hands, gently form the dough circles into balls.
• Pour 2-inches of oil into a heavy pot and heat until very hot, about 375 degrees.
• Slip the doughnuts into the oil, 4 or 5 at a time, using a slotted spoon. Turn them when brown, after a few minutes, to crisp on the other side. Drain on paper towels.
• Using a turkey baster, a pastry bag, or an injector, inject a teaspoon of jam into each doughnut. Then roll all of them in granulated sugar and serve immediately. You can make larger sufganiyot if you like.

Steps:

• Melt the milk and the butter together in a small bowl. Set aside to cool slightly (110°F).
• 2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Add the milk mixture, the eggs and egg yolks and mix on low just until combined. Switch to the dough hook and knead the dough on low speed until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes. The dough should be workable but still somewhat sticky. Add a few more tablespoons of flour if necessary but resist the urge to add too much.
• Transfer the dough to a buttered bowl, cover with plasitc wrap, and set it in a warm place to double, 60 to 90 minutes.
• Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it once or twice to expel the air. Roll the dough into a 91/2 by 12 1/2 inch rectangle. It should be about 1/2 inch thick. Using a 3 inch round cookie cutter, cut out 12 dough rounds and set them on two floured rimmed baking sheets. Lightly cover the sheets with plastic wrap and set in a warm place until almost doubled, 60 to 90 minutes.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with a few layers of paper towels. Add the oil to a medium, heavy-bottomed pot. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pot and heat the oil to 350°F. Carefully add 2 to 3 doughnuts to the oil and fry them until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the doughnuts to the paper towels. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Toss the warm doughnuts in the powdered sugar. Use a chopstick to poke a hole into one side of each doughnut. Twist the chopstick around to make some room in the center of the doughnut. Be careful not to poke through the other side. Transfer the jam to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. For each doughnut, insert the tip of the pastry bag into the hole and gently squeeze to fill.
• Alternatively, instead of powdered sugar, make a glaze by whisking the powdered sugar together with the cream and some food coloring. Top each filled doughnut with some glaze and top with sprinkles. Let the glazed doughnuts stand at room temperature for a few minutes to set.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine yeast, warm water, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Place flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the center; add eggs, yeast mixture, 1/4 cup sugar, butter, nutmeg, and salt. Using a wooden spoon, stir until a sticky dough forms. On a well-floured work surface, knead until dough is smooth, soft, and bounces back when poked with a finger, about 8 minutes (add more flour, if necessary). Place in an oiled bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Set in a warm place to rise until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2-inch-round cutter or drinking glass, cut 20 rounds. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise 15 minutes.
• In medium saucepan over medium heat, heat oil until a deep-frying thermometer registers 370 degrees. Using a slotted spoon, carefully slip 4 rounds into oil. Fry until golden, about 40 seconds. Turn doughnuts over; fry until golden on other side, another 40 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Roll in sugar while warm. Fry all dough, and roll in sugar.
• Fill a pastry bag fitted with a #4 tip with jam. Using a wooden skewer or toothpick, make a hole in the side of each doughnut. Fit the pastry tip into a hole, pipe about 2 teaspoons jam into doughnut. Repeat with remaining doughnuts.

Steps:

• Child: Mix together the yeast, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and the milk. Let sit to make sure it bubbles.
• Child: Sift the flour and mix it with the remaining sugar, salt, cinnamon, egg yolks, and the yeast mixture.
• Adult with Child: Knead the dough until it forms a ball. Add the butter or margarine. Knead some more, until the butter is well absorbed. Cover with a towel and let rise overnight in the refrigerator.
• Adult: Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch.
• Child: Cut out the dough into 24 rounds with a juice glass, or any object about 2 inches in diameter. Take 1/2 teaspoon of preserves and place in center of 12 rounds. Top with the other 12. Press down at edges, sealing with egg whites. Crimping with the thumb and second finger is best. Let rise for about 30 minutes.
• Adult: Heat 2 inches of oil to about 375°. Drop the doughnuts into the hot oil, about 5 at a time. Turn to brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
• Child: Roll the doughnuts in sugar.

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.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the 1 tsp sugar into the warm water until dissolved. Whisk in the yeast until dissolved. Set aside to proof. The mixture will get foamy. If your kitchen is warm, the mixture may foam quickly-watch it to make sure it doesn't overflow the bowl.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, salt, xanthan gum, baking powder, and 1/4 cup/50 g of the sugar.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the egg, butter, and yeast mixture on low speed for a few seconds to combine. Add the flour mixture and beat for a few seconds to combine. Increase the speed to high and beat for 3 minutes longer.
• Grease a large bowl with oil. Scrape the dough into the oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough stand in a warm, draft-free place until nearly double in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Liberally dust your rolling surface with tapioca flour. Line two cookie sheets with waxed paper. These will be your holding trays for the cut dough. Place the dough on the floured surface and dust with tapioca flour. Gently roll the dough to about 1/8 in/6 mm thick. With a 2 1/4-in/5.75-cm cookie cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible, dipping the cutter into tapioca flour before each cut. With a spatula dipped in tapioca flour, scoop up the rounds and place on the prepared sheets, spacing them at least 1 in/2.5 cm apart. Flour your hands with tapioca flour, gather the remaining dough, and squish it a few times to smooth it out, then repeat the process until all the dough is used. Try to do this in as few batches as you can. It's fine if some of the last cut rounds have some folds. You should aim for 40 rounds (you need an even amount).
• Using a pastry brush, brush off as much tapioca flour as you can from the cut rounds. Place 1/4 tsp jam in the center of half of the rounds. With a finger dipped in water, moisten the dough around the jam. Set a plain round on top of each jam-covered round. Press around the edges to seal, then push the edges toward the center so each doughnut is fat and fluffy. You may also want to bring the cookie cutter down around the perimeter of each doughnut to cut off any extra dough sticking out from the circle and to further seal the sides. Let the doughnuts stand in a warm, draft-free place until they are puffy and about double in bulk, about 1 hour.
• About 30 minutes before the doughnuts have risen fully, pour 3 to 4 in/7.5 to 10 cm of oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed 2-qt/2-L saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 375°F/190°C on a candy thermometer. Have ready one or two platters lined with paper towels.
• Using the spatula, carefully lower the doughnuts into the hot oil. Cook only as many doughnuts as will fit comfortably in your pan, allowing some space between them so that they can fry all the way around. As you place the doughnuts in the oil, the oil will start to foam-this means that the doughnuts are cooking. Fry the doughnuts until brown on one side, about 40 seconds, then turn and fry until the doughnuts are brown on the second side, and puffed and golden, about 20 seconds. With tongs, remove the doughnuts from the oil and place on the paper towels to drain. Allow the oil to return to 375°F/190°C, and repeat until all the doughnuts are fried. Be sure to monitor the oil so that the temperature remains constant; you may need to adjust the heat as you fry each batch. You don't want the oil to go above 380°F/193°C, because the doughnuts will burn before they are cooked through.
• Set a wire rack over a cookie sheet. Place the remaining 1/2 cup/100 g sugar in a bowl. Gently roll each warm doughnut in the sugar until coated. Set on the rack to cool completely.
• Doughnuts made with yeasted dough are best eaten the day they are fried. Only make as many as you plan to eat that day. The dough may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
