Delicious Bomboloni alla Crema to Brighten Your Day!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups Milk
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar

Instructions
- Warm the milk until it’s just lukewarm and mix it with the sugar and yeast. Let it foam for about 5-10 minutes.
- Combine the milk mixture with flour, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla to form a soft dough.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
- Punch down the dough to remove excess air, roll it out, and cut into rounds. Let rest for about 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F and fry the dough rounds until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Fill the bomboloni with pastry cream using a piping bag or a small spoon.
- Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy fresh!
