To begin, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until the butter is melted. Let it cool for a few minutes before adding it to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms, then add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour.
Preparing the Filling
While the dough is rising, you can start preparing the filling of your choice. For the custard filling, heat the milk in a saucepan until it starts to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Slowly pour in the hot milk, whisking constantly. Add in the egg yolks and return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Remove from heat and add in the butter and vanilla extract. Let it cool before using it as a filling.
Frying and Filling the Bomboloni
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface until it is about ½ inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles of dough. Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each circle, then fold the dough over and pinch the edges to seal. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot until it reaches 375°F. Carefully place the bomboloni in the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove them from the oil and let them cool on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Coating and Serving
Once the bomboloni have cooled, it's time to coat them in sugar and cinnamon. In a shallow dish, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Roll the bomboloni in the mixture until they are completely coated. Serve these delicious treats warm and enjoy them with your favorite cup of coffee or tea.
Final Thoughts
Now that you have mastered the art of making bomboloni, the possibilities are endless. You can experiment with different fillings and toppings to create your own unique version of these Italian delicacies. So why not give this recipe a try and impress your family and friends with your homemade bomboloni? Buon appetito!
