What bracha is this?
How long does this bake for?
can the dough rise overnight and wait till evening the next day to be baked?
or it will overise?
I wouldn’t let it rise that long…you can let it rise in the fridge which slows the process down and then take it out a few hours before frying.
can i fill it with custard instead
Sure!
Can I fill It with chocolate instead?
My kids don’t like jam. 😒
Sure! You can use chocolate spread instead
Can I use this recipe as a focaccia recipe, or is it specifically made for sufganiyot??
Looks really good.
Looks delicious!
yes i was wondering the same about the hamotzi/mezonos aspect as there is no fruit juice in the dough and the focaccia on its own would for sure be hamotzi. not sure if adding the jam helps anything guess you gotta ask your rabbi
Yes, you are taking a hamotzei dough, but making it into a cake that’s considered mezonos . same for babka that is made with challah dough. But it’s better to ask ur lor b/c there are different opinions
Too add it is also called sufganiyot it is considered a donut cake it is not your typical hamotziei focaccia
Alert!!
This is Hamotzi!
I just made it and it looks amazing! Can’t wait to wash and taste it!!!
Check with your lor, not everyone agrees.
you put the salt right on top of the yeast 🙂 doesn’t that kill the yeast?
Since she’s not blooming the yeast separately , adding salt together with the yeast doesn’t affect the rise
