Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups bread flour
- 2 cups 00 flour or all purpose
- 3 eggs
- 7 tablespoons butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk warmed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant rise yeast
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Vegetable Oil For Frying
- 5 egg yolks
- 2 ½ cups milk
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 lemon zested
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the bread flour, 00 flour, granulated sugar, and instant rise yeast.
- Add the softened butter, eggs, warmed milk, pinch of salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover and allow it to rise in a warm place for 2-3 hours, or until it has tripled in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out to a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
- Use a medium biscuit cutter to cut out doughnuts and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for another 1-1 ½ hours until nearly tripled in size.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to around 337 degrees Fahrenheit. Fry the doughnuts for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack for 1-2 minutes before rolling in powdered sugar.
Notes
Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for frying to achieve that perfect golden color.
For added flavor, incorporate a touch of lemon zest into the cream filling.
You can fill the Bomboloni with various creams or jams depending on your taste.
