Cream-filled Bomboloni are delicious Italian doughnuts filled with pastry cream, perfect for a sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed to about 110°F
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup pastry cream (store-bought or homemade)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  3. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
  7. Cut out circles using a 2-3 inch round cutter.
  8. Place the circles on a floured baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. In a deep pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F.
  10. Carefully fry the dough circles in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  11. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  12. Once cooled slightly, fill each bombolone with pastry cream using a piping bag.
  13. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • For a chocolate twist, substitute half of the pastry cream with chocolate ganache.
  • You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the powdered sugar for extra flavor.
