Ingredients
dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons (Dissolve in warm milk)
warm 1% low-fat milk
3/4 cup, divided (Warm to approximately 110°F)
granulated sugar
6 tablespoons (Measure out)
butter
1 tablespoon (Softened)
grated orange rind
1 teaspoon (Freshly grated)
vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon (Measure out)
kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon (Measure out)
large egg
1 (Prepare at room temperature)
all-purpose flour
3 1/4 cups, divided (Measure and prepare)
strawberry jam
3/4 cup (Choose your favorite brand)
powdered sugar
1 tablespoon (For dusting)
Instructions
1
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup of warm 1% low-fat milk and let it stand for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2
Add the remaining 1/4 cup of warm milk, granulated sugar, softened butter, grated orange rind, vanilla extract, kosher salt, and the egg to the yeast mixture. Using a mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture until well combined—don’t worry if the butter remains slightly chunky.
3
Lightly spoon the all-purpose flour into measuring cups and level them off. Add 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture and beat at medium speed until the mixture is smooth. Gradually stir in the remaining 1 cup of flour until a soft dough forms.
4
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8 minutes until it is smooth and elastic, adding the reserved 1/4 cup of flour, one tablespoon at a time, as necessary to prevent sticking.
5
Place the dough in a large bowl that's been coated with cooking spray, then cover it and let it rise in a warm area (around 85°F) for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size. Test the dough by gently pressing two fingers into it; if the indentation remains, the dough is ready.
6
After the first rise, punch down the dough and let it rest for 5 minutes. Divide the dough into 16 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
7
Arrange the dough balls on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover the sheet and let the dough rise again for about 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
8
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough balls have risen, uncover them and bake for 14 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
9
Using the handle of a wooden spoon, gently create a pocket in each cooled doughnut, pushing through one end but not through the other side. Fill each pocket with approximately 2 teaspoons of strawberry jam using a piping bag or plastic condiment bottle.
10
Finish by dusting the filled sufganiyot with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your delicious creation!
