Ingredients
Sufganiyot dough:
- 1 kg white flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 100 g sugar (½ cup)
- 20 g active dry yeast (5 tsps)
- 240 ml cold milk (1 cup)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- 1 teaspoon brandy
- 90 grams butter softened
Banana chocolate filling:
- 250 ml whipping cream 1 cup
- 4 TB banana pudding
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 150 g dark chocolate
- 50 g milk chocolate
- 40 g pecans (4 TBs) finely ground
- pecans
Glaze:
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 20 g oil
Topping:
- 100 g minced pecans
- Dried bananas
Instructions
Activate yeast:
- Mix 5 teaspoons of active dry yeast into ½ cup of warm water. Add 2 teaspoons of sugar. Let stand for 10 mins.
- Put flour, salt, sugar and moist yeast in a mixer bowl. Mix lightly with a kneading hook. Add milk, eggs, extracts and brandy and mix about 3 minutes on low speed. Increase the mixer speed to medium and set for another 3 minutes. Gradually add butter and mix for another 4 minutes on high speed until a soft and pliable dough is obtained.
- Form the dough into balls weighing about 30 grams (the size of a ping pong ball) and place on a tray smeared with a little oil at intervals of 5-4 cm. Cover the tray with cling film and a towel and let it rise for one to two hours until doubled in volume.
- Heat canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Fry the donuts for 3-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. It is important to maintain a medium flame, so as not to burn them. Remove to a plate lined with absorbent paper.
Cup of Yum
Make the filling:
- Heat cream in microwave until very hot. Add remaining ingredients and mix until chocolate is fully melted and everything is combined. Chill in freezer for at least one hour.
Make the glaze:
- Melt chocolate and oil in microwave and mix until fully combined.
Fill and coat the donuts:
- Using a pastry bag or a syringe, pipe about 15 grams (about a tablespoon) of the selected filling for each donut. Dip the top of each donut in the coating. Pipe another round of filling on top. Sprinkle with minced pecans and decorate with a banana chip.
