Fluffy Rugelach Draft

How I make it

Dough

1. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of the water, the yeast and 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Stir and set aside for 5 minutes.

2. In a stand mixer bowl, put the flour, the rest of the sugar, the butter, oil, vanilla and salt, and mix with the dough hook.

3. With the mixer running, add the yeast mixture and the eggs.

4. Gradually add the remaining water until the dough is smooth and elastic.

5. Let rise for 30 minutes.

Shaping and baking

1. Divide the dough into four pieces and shape into rugelach, crescents, a rolled log or any shape you like.

2. Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for 25 minutes.

3. While they bake, bring 1 cup sugar and ¾ cup water to a boil in a saucepan until the sugar fully dissolves into a syrup.

4. As soon as the rugelach come out of the oven, brush them with the syrup.
