We love a good shortcut, especially during the hectic holiday season. This sweet and soft pull-apart jelly donut ring is a no-brainer for anyone short on time, stand mixer real estate, or baking prowess. Instead of breaking a sweat over traditional yeasted dough, we turned to the ever-versatile crescent roll dough to create this jelly-stuffed, shareable confection. Just a few minutes to form them into whatever shape your heart desires, and you’re on your way to a fun, festive, and (most importantly) easy holiday entertaining treat.
Although baked instead of fried, these are reminiscent of sufganiyot, a fried jelly-filled donut eaten during the celebration of Hanukkah. This pull-apart ring could be swapped in for the traditional donut as long as you have a few other fried items—like latkes or fried goat cheese bites—to fill out the spread and serve as a reminder of the Menorah oil that lasted for 8 days.
