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)
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In another bowl, whisk warmed milk, eggs, and melted butter; combine with dry ingredients and knead until smooth.
  2. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the pastry cream: heat milk with half the sugar; whisk egg yolks, cornstarch, and remaining sugar in another bowl. Gradually add warm milk to egg mixture while whisking; return to saucepan and cook until thickened.
  4. Punch down risen dough; divide into small pieces and shape into balls. Let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan; fry bomboloni until golden brown (3-4 minutes per side). Cool slightly before filling with pastry cream using a piping bag.
  6. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
