sufganiyah homemade recipe

Certainly! A sufganiyah (plural: sufganiyot) is a round jelly doughnut that is traditionally eaten during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. The doughnut is deep-fried filled with jelly or jam, and then topped with powdered sugar. Here is a basic recipe for making sufganiyot at home:

Ingredients:

For the Dough

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 teaspoon for the yeast
  • 3/4 cup lukewarm milk (or a non-dairy substitute)
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine, softened
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for flavor)
  • Vegetable oil, for deep-frying

For the Filling

  • 1 cup strawberry or raspberry jelly (or any other preferred flavor)

For the Topping

  • Powdered sugar

Instructions:

  1. Yeast Mixture:

    • In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar in the lukewarm milk. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes, or until it begins to froth.
  2. Dough:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, and a pinch of salt.
    • Make a well in the center and add the frothy yeast mixture, eggs, softened butter or margarine, and lemon zest, if using.
    • Mix everything together to form a soft dough. You can start mixing with a spoon and then use your hands, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
  3. Kneading:

    • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it until it's smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes by hand, or 5-7 minutes if using a mixer.
    • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour you knead.
  4. First Rise:

    • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  5. Forming the Sufganiyot:

    • After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to about a 1/2-inch thickness.
    • Using a round cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out circles of dough and place them on a lightly floured baking sheet.
    • Cover the dough rounds with a towel and let them rise again until puffy, about 30 minutes.
  6. Frying:

    • Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there's enough room at the top of the pot to prevent overflow.
    • Fry the doughnuts in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for about 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown.
    • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried sufganiyot to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  7. Filling:

    • Once the sufganiyot have cooled slightly, use a piping bag with a narrow nozzle to inject jelly into the side of each doughnut.
  8. Topping:

    • Dust the filled sufganiyot with powdered sugar before serving.

Enjoy your homemade sufganiyot warm or at room temperature!
