Are you a fan of delectable and indulgent pastries? If so, you’re in for a treat with this comprehensive guide on how to make bomboloni – a delicious Italian donut-like pastry. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a novice in the kitchen, this recipe will have you creating mouthwatering bomboloni in no time. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then sprinkle the active dry yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix all the ingredients together until a sticky dough forms.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 2: Shape and Proof the Bomboloni

Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough to a thickness of about ½ an inch.

Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles of dough. Place each circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between them for rising.

Cover the baking sheet with a clean kitchen towel and let the bomboloni proof for about 30-45 minutes, or until they have puffed up and become noticeably larger.

Step 3: Fry the Bomboloni

In a large, deep pan or a pot, heat vegetable oil to a temperature of 350°F (175°C).

Gently drop a few bomboloni into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Let them fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown.

Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fried bomboloni from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

Once the bomboloni have cooled slightly, dust them generously with powdered sugar. Serve them warm and enjoy the delightful combination of crispy outer layer and fluffy, sweet interior.

Now that you have mastered the art of making bomboloni, you can share this delectable treat with family and friends. Whether for a special occasion or a cozy breakfast, these bomboloni are sure to be a hit. Happy baking!
