Doughnuts meet hamantaschen as Brooklyn's Sesame bakery reimagines a Purim treat
In the search for innovation, Jewish bakers have lately branched out into rectangular latkes, soft mandel bread and black and white cookies that are anything but.
The latest Franken-nosh? Ahead of Purim, Sesame, a popular Brooklyn bakery, sells a frosting-filled doughnut in the triangular shape of hamantaschen, the signature cookie of the holiday that marks the Jewish victory over the evil Haman. (Purim begins on the evening of March 6.)
The triangular treat is a twist on the uber-popular Hanukkah sufganiyot that Sesame is known for: fluffy yeast doughnuts chock-full of filling and laden with elaborate toppings. The hamantaschen doughnuts are available in a range of flavors from strawberry and blueberry jelly to pistachio and lemon custard.
