Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 cup pastry cream (for filling)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and half of the sugar. Let it sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a stand mixer bowl, mix flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Knead the dough using a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  4. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  5. Punch down the dough and roll it out to about ½ inch thick. Cut into circles.
  6. Place on parchment-lined trays and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
  7. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or pot over medium heat. Fry bomboloni until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
  8. Drain on paper towels and fill each doughnut with pastry cream using a pastry bag.
  9. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
