Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups bread flour
- 2 cups 00 flour or all-purpose flour
- 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, mix the bread flour, 00 flour, granulated sugar, and yeast.
- Add softened butter, eggs, warmed milk, salt, and vanilla. Knead the mixture for 5 to 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and allow it to rise in a warm place for 2 to 3 hours, or until it has tripled in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
- Using a medium biscuit cutter, cut out rounds for the doughnuts and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let them rise for another 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until nearly tripled in size.
- In a deep pot, heat oil to approximately 337 degrees Fahrenheit. Fry the doughnuts for about 2 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.
- Remove and drain on a wire rack for 1 to 2 minutes, then roll in powdered sugar.
Notes
Ensure the oil is at the right temperature for even frying.
For added flavor, try incorporating different types of fillings in your Bomboloni.
These doughnuts are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
