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 pastry cream)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for pastry cream)
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Create a well in the center and add warmed milk, eggs, and melted butter. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl covered with a cloth until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  4. Prepare the pastry cream by heating milk and half of the sugar in a saucepan. Whisk egg yolks with cornstarch and remaining sugar; mix hot milk gradually into the yolks.
  5. Return mixture to saucepan on low heat until thickened; stir in vanilla extract and butter. Cool completely.
  6. Roll out risen dough, cut into circles, and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
  7. Fry in heated vegetable oil (350°F) until golden brown on both sides (2-3 minutes each).
  8. Fill cooled bomboloni with pastry cream using a piping bag; dust with powdered sugar before serving.
