Step into the enchanting world of festive indulgence with our Jelly Sufganiyot – a delightful Hanukkah tradition that elevates the art of doughnut making to a sweet and joyous celebration. These pillowy, golden delights, filled with a burst of fruity jelly, are not just doughnuts; they are a culinary experience that invites you to savor the magic of the season.

The journey begins with a rich and buttery dough, expertly crafted to achieve the perfect balance of tenderness and fluffiness. Each round of dough is lovingly shaped and left to rise, creating a canvas that promises a delightful combination of textures – a crispy exterior that gives way to a cloud-like softness inside.

As the doughnuts undergo their magical transformation in the hot oil, the kitchen is filled with the irresistible aroma of golden decadence. The sizzling symphony is a prelude to the joyous experience that awaits as these golden orbs emerge, their surfaces shimmering with a hint of sweetness and a promise of indulgence.

But what truly makes our Jelly Sufganiyot an extraordinary treat is the moment of filling. Using a pastry bag, each doughnut is injected with a generous dollop of vibrant, fruity jelly – a burst of flavor that turns each bite into a delectable surprise. Whether it’s classic raspberry, strawberry, or a medley of fruity delights, the jelly filling adds a playful and delightful element to these already enchanting doughnuts.

Dusting the sufganiyot with a gentle shower of powdered sugar is the final touch, creating a snowy veil that enhances the festive allure of these treats. The glistening sugar, like a sprinkle of holiday magic, invites you to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of these handcrafted delights.

Serve our Jelly Sufganiyot on a festive platter, surrounded by the warmth of Hanukkah candles and the joyous laughter of loved ones. Whether enjoyed during the traditional lighting of the menorah or as a sweet conclusion to a festive feast, these doughnuts are more than a dessert; they are a culinary celebration that captures the spirit of the season.

Prepare to be transported to a world where each bite is a moment of sweetness and each sufganiyah is a delectable embodiment of holiday joy. Our Jelly Sufganiyot are an invitation to embrace the magic of tradition and indulge in the blissful experience of a freshly made, jelly-filled doughnut that warms the heart and sweetens the soul.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp instant or quick-rising yeast (from 2 [1/4-oz.] envelopes)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. warm water (about 110°F)
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • Neutral oil (such as canola oil), for frying, plus more for greasing the bowl
  • 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
  • Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

Directions

  1. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir together flour, granulated sugar, yeast, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; add egg yolks, warm water, and butter. Beat on medium speed until dough is smooth and elastic, 4 to 5 minutes.

  2. Place dough in a large bowl greased with oil, turning to coat all sides. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.

  3. Uncover the dough and turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out to a thickness of 1/3 to 1/2 inch. Cut into 8 rounds using a 2 3/4-inch round cutter. Place cut dough on a prepared baking sheet and cover it with a kitchen towel. Let rise at room temperature until dough is slightly puffed and springs back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, add oil to a large Dutch oven, filling to a depth of 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Heat over medium until oil reaches 350°F, 15 to 20 minutes.

  5. Gently transfer 4 dough rounds to hot oil. Cook until golden brown on both sides, 45 seconds to 1 minute per side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the doughnuts to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining 4 rounds.

  6. Let doughnuts stand until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Fill a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with jam; massage the bag to loosen the jam. Snip the corner of the plastic bag. Use a butter knife to poke a hole through the side and into the center of each doughnut, being careful not to poke through the other side. Insert piping bag into hole and pipe about 1 tablespoon jam into each doughnut. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve immediately.
