Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In another bowl, whisk warm milk, eggs, and melted butter. Combine both mixtures into a soft dough. Knead until smooth.
  2. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about an hour).
  3. While waiting, prepare the pastry cream: Heat milk and half of the sugar in a saucepan. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks, cornstarch, remaining sugar, and vanilla. Gradually mix in warm milk while whisking continuously. Return to heat until thickened; add butter and cool.
  4. Roll out risen dough to about ½ inch thick and cut into circles. Let them rise again for 30 minutes.
  5. Heat oil in a deep pot to about 350°F (175°C). Fry bomboloni until golden brown on both sides (around 2-3 minutes each). Drain on paper towels.
  6. Fill cooled bomboloni with pastry cream using a piping bag through a hole in the side. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
