Ingredients
3 1/2 cups flour
2 pkgs. active dry yeast
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup plus 1/3 cup water
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tbl vegetable oil plus extra for deep frying
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup fruit preserves
sifted powdered sugar
Directions
- In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/4 cup of flour, yeast and cinnamon and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan heat and stir water, sugar, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and salt until warm. Add to flour mixture.
- Add egg and vanilla to mixture and beat at low/medium speed with electric mixer for about half a minute.
- Continue beating on high speed for 3 minutes. Stir in remaining flour using a wooden spoon.
- Knead dough on a lightly floured board for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Shape dough into a ball set aside for 1 hour in a covered and lightly greased bowl. Be sure to place bowl in a warm place – the dough should about double in size.
- Punch dough down on a lightly floured board. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size. About 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness (may require rolling portions).
- Cut dough into 2 1/2 inch circles (use a floured biscuit cutter if you have one)
- Place about 1/2 teaspoon filling onto the center of a dough circle. Lightly moisten edges of circles and cover with a second dough circle. Gently press and seal edges together.
- Fry the sufganiyot in hot oil (365 degrees) for about 1 minute on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels.
- When cool sprinkle with powdered sugar.
