5 Minute Doughnuts
Welcome to our first ever Hanukkah Blog Party, hosted CookKosher and Miriam of Overtime Cook. It's traditional on Hanukkah to eat fried treats, most notably donuts and latkes, and we've got a fabulous array of Hanukkah themed recipes, treats and crafts from Jewish bloggers all over the world!
For the blog party, I ran out of time. I have a house full of little ones. They all want doughnuts. On a regular day, I love making homemade doughnuts. It doesn't take much time. In less than an hour, from beginning to end, the doughnuts are ready. But what happens when you don't even have that hour? You can always buy them. Yet, I believe homemade doughnuts are way tastier than store-bought.
So, say you want to make homemade doughnuts, not in an hour, but in...5 minutes.
You can do it!
Start with a store-bought pizza dough. Roll out dough to a 12- x 10-inch rectangle. It doesn't have to be exact, as long as you don't stretch the dough too much. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into little bite size pieces. Since pizza dough isn't sweet you don't want to have too much dough in each donut.
Heat up a pot of oil. I don't use a very large pot so that there isn't too much oil wasted. With a smaller pot you have to stand over and fry a bit longer, but it's worth it.
Fry, flip until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towel.
Remember I said the dough isn't sweet? To make up for that, you need to toss the doughnuts with lots of confectioners' sugar. Don't sprinkle it.
With a spoon toss, toss, toss 'em in a bowl full of sugar until they are well-coated.
There are perferct for little fingers.
Kids are happy. I'm happy.

I was going to say latkes as I think they beat doughnuts any day but after seeing (and trying) this quick and delicious recipe, I have to say that I have a hard time deciding. Thank you and Happy Hanuka
Can I say both? :)
My favorite chanukah food is doughnuts! I usually don't eat em during the year, and have one each night of chanukah!
The donuts look great, but what is that blue mat you're rolling the dough on? That fascinates me a little more.
I'm definitely a donut girl.
I wait all year just for the melt in your mouth of a fresh well baked donut.
both!!!!
thank you for the giveaway
would love to win
Definitely latkes! Would love to win one of the cookbooks--I love trying out new recipes!
I think it would have to be doughnuts!
I am a donut gal all the way! This is such a clever idea for donuts.
Thanks for hosting a great party!!
PS I see an adorable face about to eat a donut! :)
I think latkes.
DOUGHNUTS - HAND DOWN!!
forsure donuts!
latkes- my latkes are the best! I just use my potato kugel recipe. no breadcrumbs, or any other additives. They are crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside.
I am so glad there is an easier and faster way to make fried doughnuts. Seriously this recipe is too easy not to make. Thank you for hosting this wonderful event Leah!
I love latkes! I am experimenting with a good vegan version, but have yet to top my annual classic latke.
i love that this takes 5 minutes! i never thought of using pizza dough for suganyot
Wow! What an incentive to make my own doughnuts.... And they look delicious!
I like doughnuts better.
There is nothing like a hot carmel donut fresh on the streets of Geula!! Boy do I miss that!!
I like both.. one for sweet and one for savory!
as a fried food addict - the doughnuts satisfy my sweet needs and the latkes satisfy my savory needs.
I like both! I actually tried out a fantastic recipe on Motzei Shabbos. The corn latkes. They're totally delicious :-)
I'm excited to check out these blogs! I haven't heard of most of them. I love both latkes & doughnuts, but I'm taking it easy so far.
aahhhh, donuts, of course! anything that goes with my coffee, any time of day!
especially the dairy carmel donuts at Eagles on 13th Ave corner 38th Str
Most definitely doughnuts. I prefer dessert for any meal.
Doughnuts! I like latkes too but only get to enjoy the doughnuts once a year whereas latkes occasionally make it to our table throughout the year. Plus doughnuts are fun to decorate!
Tough question to answer. I can't say I only like one of the two. I Happened to like both very much.
Doughnuts! Nothing beats em!
Doughnuts for sure!! Very addictive. Once I eat one I can't stop.
Tough choice, but if I had to choose one it would be doughnuts.
I must say both!! One as a main and one as an appetizer...what could be better??
I made these on Chanukah when I had 2 surprise visitors. They were blown away! The best part was that because they are made so quickly I had a lot ready very fast - so every bite was super fresh making them even more delish! Thanks for the super idea!
And if the contest is still running...although latkes are a close second (only with applesauce) nothing beats a fresh donut!
