ZALABIYA -- YEMENITE CHANUKA DOUGHNUTS



Zalabiya -- Yemenite Chanuka Doughnuts image

I was chewing the fat (literally, it's Chanuka-time now and we eat a lot of fried foods on this holiday) with one of the bank managers at work, and she gave me this recipe for the doughnuts traditionally eaten on Chanuka in Yemen (or by Yemenites all over the world). I tried them out last night, and they are really good. If you are expecting an airy, light pastry, forget it! These are hearty, good for breakfast, wonderfully chewy doughnuts. Prep time includes dough rising time.

Categories     Breads

Time 3h

Yield 32 doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/4 lbs flour
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
2 ounces yeast
water (I used soy milk)
soy oil (for frying) or canola oil (for frying)
powdered sugar (for dredging)

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients except for the water together.
  • If you have to proof the yeast first (I don't) then proof it in a little warm water with some of the sugar.
  • If using an electric mixer with a dough hook, start kneading the dough while slowly adding warm water, a little at a time, until you get a pliable, but slightly sticky dough.
  • You don't want the dough to be stiff enough to pick up and throw at someone (don't laugh, it's been done before), but at the same time, you don't want the dough to be so gloopy you have to dish it out with a spoon.
  • You want this to have a little substance, but still still to the bowl a bit, and to your hands.
  • If you are working by hand, just read the above directions, but forget about the dough hook.
  • First use a good, heavy wooden spoon, then start working and kneading with your hands.
  • Let the dough rise until doubled.
  • If you don't have enough patience for this, a good zap in the microwave for 30 seconds on high every 15 minutes or so should give that dough a good burst of energy.
  • When the dough has doubled in bulk, punch it down (feels good, doesn't it), wipe the sticky dough off your hands, and let it rise until doubled again.
  • Punch it down again.
  • Pour about two inches of oil in a pot that's suitable for deep frying.
  • I used a smallish pot and fried the zalabia two at a time.
  • Pinch off a ping-pong ball-sized piece of dough.
  • Shape it into a ball and then with your fingers, poke a hole and shape the dough into a doughnut.
  • Fry in the hot oil, first on one side, then on the other, until golden brown.
  • Be careful, they brown quickly.
  • Drain on absorbent paper towels, and dredge with powdered sugar.

  • Stir the instant yeast and 1 tsp sugar in 1/4 cup lukewarm water; leave the mixture until it foams.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and corn starch with the rest of the water, then add the yeast mixture. Stir everything together to combine. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside in a warm area for about 2 hours to rise. 3-4 times during the rising time, stir the dough with a wooden spoon to get rid of air bubbles.
  • When the dough has risen, fill a small heavy saucepan about 1/3 of the way with canola oil. Heat on medium-high until the oil is hot and you can see small bubbles forming gently. Using two oiled spoons, drop the dough by the spoonful into the hot oil (do this in small batches.) The dough will float immediately and the bottom side will turn golden brown. Flip over on the other side. Remove quickly to a large tray lined with paper towels to drain.
  • Prepare the syrup. In a small saucepan or pot, combine the sugar, honey, water and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil on high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Turn the heat to low and cook for a few minutes until the syrup thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
