With my holiday baking this year, I wanted to expand outside of our own family’s usual traditions, and try some different types of food.
So I set out to try a traditional Hanukkah food, sufganiyots.
Sufganiyots are basically little fried filled donuts. They are beyond amazing, and extremely addictive.
For my sufganiyots, I wanted to fill them with my favorite spread, Nutella.
Yield: Serves 4
Hazelnut Spread-Filled Sufganiyot
Ingredients:
- 1 package regular active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 3/4 cup warm milk (105°F to 115°F)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 4 teaspoons hazelnut spread with cocoa
- 1 egg, beaten
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
- In bowl of electric stand mixer, place yeast, warm milk and melted butter; mix well with spoon until yeast dissolves.
- Add 1 cup of the flour, the granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and 2 eggs to yeast mixture. With paddle attachment, mix on low speed until well blended.
- Replace paddle attachment with dough hook; add remaining flour. Mix on low speed until dough comes together, then on medium speed until dough is smooth, elastic and pulls away cleanly from sides of bowl.
- Spray large bowl with cooking spray. Form dough into ball; place in bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate about 8 hours or overnight.
- Remove dough from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, about 1 hour. On lightly floured work surface, roll dough to 1/4- to 1/2-inch thickness. Using 2-inch round cookie cutter or small juice glass, cut out 16 circles, pressing together and rerolling dough scraps as necessary.
- Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. On centers of 8 of the circles, spoon 1/2 teaspoon hazelnut spread; lightly brush beaten egg around edge of circles. Top with remaining circles, lightly pressing edges together. Place sufganiots on cookie sheet; cover with plastic wrap and let rest 30 minutes.
- In deep fryer or 3-quart heavy saucepan, heat 2 to 3 inches oil to 375°F. Fry sufganoits, 3 or 4 at a time (do not overcrowd), in hot oil 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on cooling rack placed over cookie sheet or paper towels.
- In large bowl, place powdered sugar; roll sufganiots in powdered sugar; cool at least 15 minutes. Reroll in powdered sugar before serving.
