Love the video, I would enjoy to see a printed recipe to see the measures of the ingredients. Could not find the same item at the website.

Leah, I visited your website. You are awesome! I have a LOT to learn, and watching you makes me feel a lot less intimidated. Thank you! :)

Great recipe and video. The only thing you have to be careful about when putting yeast into the dough is to make sure the salt is dispersed in (mixed through) the dough before the yeast is added. Direct contact with salt will kill the yeast and make your rising unpredictable. And one question: why use margarine when you're already using milk? I stay away from the processed stuff and use butter whenever possible. Obviously, if it's a pareve recipe, you'll go for margerine, but if you're already doing milchik, then butter would always be better.

[@willadios3326]

Leah, thank you for this recipe. I do not have much strength in my hands, and I am wondering if I could knead the dough in a stand mixer with a dough hook? I heard you say that you don't have a lot of appliances; neither do I, but I do have a stand mixer. I can do a little kneading with my hands, but I don't know if I'd be able to do enough. Love to watch your tutorials.

[@eternalruin]

Hi I went to your website but I can't find the recipe. Has it been removed?

[@KimTippin]

Thank you!! Wonderful and delicious looking donuts!! Kids and I can not wait to try. Thank you !

[@LeahElisheva]

I never add milk because I want to be able to enjoy after a meat meal as well- but maybe it makes them taste better? I’ll try it. Thanks 😊 they look absolutely fabulous. I do everything by hand as well. I don’t have a stand mixer. Although I’m seriously considering investing in one. You give excellent tips and tricks I truly appreciate that :). Thanks so much!

[@LeahCooksKosher]

I like using my hands when baking. And, at work I have a 30 qt mixer. Home mixers are so small!

[@LeahElisheva]

Very true!!! That’s why I haven’t purchased one yet…. I’m wondering if it would be a waste of money - because my challah dough is a heavy dough… I’m thinking the at home stand mixers won’t be able to handle it every week 😂

[@LeahCooksKosher]

Probably a waste unless you do other baking. @@LeahElisheva

[@elanabacon9853]

hi leah- you mentioned in your video that you used your fryer for chicken and that the dough was parve- but didnt you put milk in the wet ingredients???

[@sayididit2930]

Interesting username... 😂

[@PhotoMan]

It's soy milk according to the recipe on her website.

[@morehn]

@@sayididit2930 it may come from basking in Yiddish

[@roshif-tv9xd]

Shalom...Gentile here. This may seem like a stupid question, but I do not know much about Kosher. Can u use butter, or does it have to be margarine? I noticed u used milk so I'm not sure if it was a dietary sub...or just what the recipe calls for. Thanks!

[@Core4ever10]

ro shif1974 can be butter instead of butter. As for milk can be regular milk or almond/rice milk.

[@lorriane9895]

Are you still doing cooking videos in 2020?

[@LeahCooksKosher]

Hi Lorriane, It's super hard to find time to do videos, blogs, etc. I'm one of the few cooking kosher in Seattle - always busy!

[@HotVoodooWitch]

I use saf gold label yeast for sweet doughs like this (I like active dry otherwise) and you're quite right--instant yeast CAN be added directly to the dry ingredients and doesn't need to be proofed (store yeast in the freezer; it'll last forever). I used to know someone who added some grated lemon peel to her sufganiyah dough--it was nice! Her sufganiyot were square (and unfilled).

[@user-_-37470]

Hot voodoo I saw them fill.

[@pedrovinicius6650]

Great recipe, I'm going to use it to make the sufganiyot for the Hanukkah dinner we are going to have in my community. I have just a doubt. How many minutes do you leave them in the oven? Happy hanukkah! :)

[@LeahCooksKosher]

Thank you and Happy Hanukkah! Please note: these are not baked in the oven! They are fried in 375' oil. Follow the directions and let them rise until very light. Heat the oil and fry - mine have been taking about 5 - 6 minutes but it depends on the size of the dough. To check, I've been poking with an insta-read thermometer and cooking to about 140'. Take one out carefully and slit it with a serrated knife to check that it's fully cooked. Have fun and eat them freshly cooked!

[@user-_-37470]

I use red label active dry yeast, I don’t think I have SAF instant/quick rise yeast, think I don’t use quick-rise

[@avabradford6830]

Omg she is so cute!

[@gemmasoyls6445]

They look like bunuelos. Yummy for my tummy.

[@mhbpolicestationmhb9278]

i like this reciepe......love from india

[@bendandx]

Thanks! Needing the love during this madness of COVID 19 - stay safe!

[@JaniceCrowell]

Thanks. My mistake. Never been kosher. I’m not Jewish but I have a small percentage Jewish ancestry. We started celebrating Hanukkah a couple of years ago. Thanks for all your info.

[@LeahCooksKosher]

No worries; I only look like I know what I’m doing! Learn something everyday.

[@o-o8723]

amazing! just please add the recipe (measures)

[@LeahCooksKosher]

Hi there! All our recipes can be found here: www.leahcookskosher.com with detailed ingredient list.

[@LeahCooksKosher]

So, I'm really late in responding - not on social media enough! Sorry about that! All the recipes are on LeahCooksKosher.com. Thanks!

[@Ancientsorbet]

You could probably knead the dough using a dough hook on a stand mixer if you can't/don't want to knead it.

[@user-_-37470]

I don’t use a stand mixer, because the stand mixer makes my dough extreme sticky

[@user-_-37470]

Or they like it easy

[@sunflower6434]

Do you have any recipes for gluten-free sufganiyot?

[@LeahCooksKosher]

Hi Walter - sorry for the delayed response. I don't have a recipe. That said, go to King Arthur Flour's website and look for a gluten-free sweet dough. Instead of baking it, fry it - that's where I would start. Sorry I don't have time to do the test run. Thanks for watching! Leah

[@TheSparklyBeader]

Leah, would love a gluten-free version of this recipe for those of us who cannot eat regular wheat flour. Is it possible?

[@LeahCooksKosher]

Hi Sparkly Beader - Hmmm, I've not played around with yeast and GF flour so I don't have a recipe. That said, this is from King Arthur's Flour: www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/gluten-free-cinnamon-rolls-recipe I would try the dough, let it rise and gently fry. See what happens and let me know. Thanks! Leah

[@Stuwing]

Leah...in recent years air fryer's have become popular. How would we integrate that into the recipe? Thank you and Happy 8th day of Chanukah! Stu

[@bendandx]

Hi Stu - I am not a fan of kitchen small appliances as so much can be accomplished with a few pieces of equipment. Plus, I'm always cooking for large groups and eating leftovers! I can't answer this question but on the surface, Chanukah is about the miracle of oil, not air!!! :-) If anyone has tried an air fryer, let me know - I'd love a miracle of fewer calories! Stay safe, everybody......

[@Stuwing]

@@bendandx Thanks for your reply. I look forward to hearing about anyone's air fryer experience(s).

[@UniPC]

Shalom, is there any other flours I can use? I have a lot of allergies to grain. Can I use like almond meal or any other non grain flour?

[@user-_-37470]

Shalom is שלום, edit this

[@JaniceCrowell]

Mmmm. I want one now!

[@GOWHID5173]

Wow! Beautiful dough😊

[@JaniceCrowell]

Is there some reason you don’t use butter? Margarine is so toxic. Is butter not kosher?

[@LeahCooksKosher]

usually, I'm making brisket or chicken for Chanukah - can't use dairy with those meat items. I'm sure butter would be fabulous. Then, I'd need another fryer........thanks!

[@JaniceCrowell]

@@LeahCooksKosher Oh. That makes sense then.

[@LeahElisheva]

⁠@@LeahCooksKosherbut you have milk in the dough… so it’s milchig… not pareve… So now I’m confused.

[@LeahCooksKosher]

I use soy milk. These days, I often reduce the soy milk so it's a bit richer. Sorry for the confusion. Happy Chanukah!@@LeahElisheva

[@LeahCooksKosher]

Butter makes the product dairy - so, most wouldn't eat them after brisket, chicken, etc.

[@marielang9552]

Nice explanation.

[@LeahCooksKosher]

I use SAF instant yeast (rapid rise) which I buy in 1 pound packages. Never fails me. Lemon zest is a good idea - unfilled; NOT! :-)

[@Ana-ls8rh]

Are you part filipino by any chance? You look it.

[@LeahCooksKosher]

I am part Filipino on my father's side. Sorry for the delayed response; always super busy.

[@cristinatee1732]

Are you Native American?

[@LeahCooksKosher]

Hi Cristina - Yes, I am a mixed bag. My grandmother was possibly 50% Native Alaskan; Little Diomede area I believe. When I was in Russia, I was asked if I was Polish - yep, 27%. In Bali, are you Indonesian - yep, Filipino (close enough). I converted to Judaism over 25 years ago. So, let's make sufganiyot - Happy Chanukah!

[@cristinatee1732]

LeahCooksKosher Beautiful mixture. Enjoy your channel very much.💖☮️

[@organicgardenmamavictoriab2768]

I can't afford those bread machines and I have no space for one.

[@bendandx]

Easy enough to make dough by hand - I don't have a bread machine or stand mixer at home. I do have a stand mixer at work as well as a 30 qt. industrial mixer - but, never saw the need for a bread machine. As far as frying, a pot and oil is all you need with a good thermometer to watch the temp of the oil.

[@bendandx]

and, actually, this is Leah - Ben is my assistant. Not quite sure why his name is on the account!

[@edwardkaplan6472]

sounds Milchik to me! maybe you can use almond milk?

[@user-_-37470]

לא!!

[@TheDrawinghaze]

I thought you cannot mix milk and eggs on Jewish religion

[@LeahCooksKosher]

No, you are mistaken. Eggs are considered "pareve" - not meat or dairy so they can be served with either. Thanks for asking.
