Indulge in the sweet tradition of Hanukkah with Israel's beloved Sufganiyot. These jelly-filled doughnuts are fried to golden perfection, then generously dusted with powdered sugar, creating a delightful treat that's sure to brighten your holiday celebrations.

Here's a recipe for Israel's Sufganiyot:

Ingredients:

 - 1 cup warm milk

 - 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 package) active dry yeast

 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar

 - 2 large eggs, beaten

 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

 - 1 teaspoon salt

 - 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

 - Vegetable oil, for frying

 - 1 cup fruit jam or jelly of your choice

 - Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

1- In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until foamy.

2- Add the sugar, eggs, melted butter, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.

3- Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.

4- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

5- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

6- Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Using a round cutter or glass, cut out circles of dough.

7- Place a spoonful of jam or jelly in the center of half of the dough circles. Brush the edges with water and top with another dough circle. Press the edges together to seal.

8- Place the filled doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a kitchen towel, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.

9- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).

10- Carefully add the doughnuts to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

11- Remove the doughnuts from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate

12- Once cooled slightly, dust the Sufganiyot with powdered sugar.

13- Serve warm and enjoy the sweet, jelly-filled goodness of Israel's traditional Hanukkah treat!
