Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (7g) instant yeast
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup whole milk, warmed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups whole milk (for filling)
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy. In another bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and melted butter to the flour; knead until smooth.
  2. Let It Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm area for about an hour until doubled.
  3. Make Pastry Cream: Heat whole milk in a saucepan. In another bowl, whisk sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, and vanilla. Add hot milk gradually while whisking; return to heat until thickened.
  4. Shape Bomboloni: Roll out risen dough and cut into circles; place on parchment paper to rest for another 30 minutes.
  5. Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet to about 350°F (175°C). Fry bomboloni until golden brown on both sides—about 2 minutes each.
  6. Fill: Once cooled slightly but still warm, fill each bombolone with pastry cream using a piping bag.
  7. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!
