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)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 4 large egg yolks (for filling)
  • ¼ cup cornstarch (for filling)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (for filling)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together warmed milk, eggs, and melted butter. Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough until smooth, then cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  3. Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface to about half an inch thick and cut into circles. Allow them to rest for another 30 minutes.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to around 350°F and fry the dough circles until golden brown on each side.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the pastry cream by heating whole milk and sugar until simmering. Whisk egg yolks with cornstarch; gradually add the hot milk mixture while whisking. Return to heat until thickened.
  6. Once cooled slightly, fill bomboloni with pastry cream using a piping bag.
  7. Dust with powdered sugar before serving warm.
