Marionberry Jam Doughnuts (Sufganiyot)
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup plus 1 tsp. sugar, divided
- 2 3/4 to 3 cups flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 4 to 5 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup marionberry or other favorite jam
- Combine yeast, 1/2 cup warm (110u0b0) water, and 1 tsp. sugar in a small bowl. Set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Put 2 3/4 cups flour in bowl of a stand mixer or mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Add eggs, yeast mixture, 1/4 cup sugar, the butter, nutmeg, and salt. Mix with dough hook on medium speed, scraping inside of bowl occasionally, until dough is smooth and stretchy, 8 to 10 minutes. If needed, add about 1/4 cup more flour and mix until dough pulls free from bowl and is no longer sticky. (To mix by hand, stir with a spoon, then knead on a board until smooth and stretchy, 8 to 10 minutes, adding flour to keep dough from sticking.)
- Rub dough with a bit of oil, turn over in bowl, and cover. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1 hour. In a bowl, mix remaining sugar and the cinnamon.
- Push dough down to release air and shape into a smooth ball. Roll on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 in. thick. Using a 2 3/4-in. round cutter or drinking glass, cut rounds and place on 2 lightly oiled baking sheets; gather scraps and reroll as needed. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until puffy, 20 minutes.
- Pour 1 in. oil into a 5- to 6-qt. pan, insert a deep-fry thermometer, and warm oil over medium-high heat to 325u0b0 to 350u0b0. Using a slotted spoon, slip 4 rounds into oil, one by one. Fry until deep golden, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes total; adjust heat as needed to keep oil between 275u0b0 and 350u0b0.
- Lift out doughnuts with slotted spoon, letting drain slightly, and put in bowl of cinnamon sugar. Turn in sugar while warm, using a fork, then set on a platter. Repeat with remaining rounds.
- Poke each doughnut to center with a teaspoon handle. Fit a pastry bag with a 1/3-in.-wide round tip (or snip a corner off a resealable plastic freezer bag), then fill with jam. Pipe or squeeze about 2 tsp. jam into each doughnut (you may need to squeeze doughnuts to hold them open).
- Make ahead: Up to 4 hours, wrapped airtight, at room temperature.
