- Melt the yeasts in a small bowl with the lukewarm water and the 1 teaspoon sugar.
- Put on the side, in a warm place, covered with clean kitchen towel for about 10 minute – until mixture rises.
- In a large bowl, using a kitchen mixer (on high speed) bit whole eggs + nutmeg + ¼ cup sugar.
- Lower mixer speed and add the raised yeast mixture.
- Continue on low speed - add the lukewarm milk mixture.
- Add the 2 cups of flour until dough is smooth and homogeneous.
- Put mixer away.

- >>> Sufganiot in a 12 Muffin Baking Pan:
- Grease well each “Muffin chamber†with a brush. Use the melted butter that’s waiting to the end of baking.
- Cover working area with lots of flour.
- Take a small portion of dough in your fingertips, and place it on floured working area.
- Roll it until all of it is covered with flour. (You won’t be able to work it without the flour – the dough is very sticky…).
- Pick the covered-in-flour piece of dough, and create with your hands a ball – in a size of approximately a ping-pong ball.
- Place the “ball†in one of the greased “chambersâ€.
- Continue doing so until all chambers are filled.
- Place pan in a warm place, covered with a clean kitchen towel, for 30-40 minute until dough rises outside the “chamberâ€.
- Bake in oven (350 F) for about 10 minute until the Sufganiot are lightly golden-brown and the smell drives you nuts….
- Take pan out of the oven – and while the Sufganiot are still very hot brush them with the melted butter that waits on the side ‘till now.
- Using you fingers, sprinkle sugar & cinnamon mixture on top of the Sufganiot.
- Take the Sufganiot out of the pan, and place them on a nice serving tray.
- In this stage, you can also inject jam, dulce-de-letche or chocolate into the middle of the Sufganiya. (Was not calculated!).
- Sprinkle sugar powder - And Enjoy!
- >>> Doughnut- shaped Sufganiot:
- Cover working area with a lot of flour.
- Take a portion of dough in your fingertips, and place it on floured working area.
- Using the palms of your hands, flatten the dough until it’s about 1/2 an inch in height.
- Using a drinking glass, create circles.
- I created the hole in the middle using an eye cream clean lid.
- Cover a flat baking pan with parchment paper and brush it with melted butter (…that’s sits on the side waiting ‘till the end of baking.).
- Place the doughnut-shaped Sufganiot on paper – space them a bit….
- Place pan in a warm place, covered with a clean kitchen towel, for 30-40 minute until the doughnut-shaped Sufganiot are about twice the original size.
