About this recipe
Sufganiyot Thermomix TM7 recipes bring the magic of Hanukkah straight into your kitchen. These Israeli jam doughnuts rely on a delicate yeasted dough, and that is exactly where the all-in-one kitchen machine shines: the milk and butter are warmed gently to activate the yeast, the eggs are whipped to a uniform froth, and the flour mixture is kneaded into a silky, elastic dough without any hand work. The result is a snack with a bakery-light crumb and a thin, crisp fried shell, filled with a burst of jelly. Whether you are planning a festive Hanukkah dessert, a weekend baking project with the children, or simply craving homemade doughnuts better than any bakery version, this recipe delivers. Search no further for a reliable sufganiyot recipe with step-by-step Thermomix TM7 convenience — the dough comes together in one bowl, proving takes over, and frying turns each round into a golden, jelly-filled treat.
Preparation tips
- Activate the yeast in lukewarm milk with a pinch of the sugar before adding it to the flour; if the mixture does not foam slightly, start again with fresh yeast for a guaranteed rise.
- Roll the dough to an even thickness and cut neat rounds, then let them prove seam-side down on a floured tray until puffy before frying, so the sufganiyot puff evenly and hold their shape.
- Fill the cooled doughnuts with jelly using a piping bag with a long nozzle inserted into the side; dust generously with sugar only after filling so it sticks without dissolving.
Recipe variations
- Make a chocolate version by replacing the jelly filling with smooth chocolate ganache or hazelnut spread; the same dough works beautifully and children love choosing their own filling.
- For a dairy-free variation, substitute the whole milk with plant-based milk and the unsalted butter with a dairy-free alternative, keeping the dough just as soft and the Hanukkah tradition intact.
