Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp (13g) caster sugar
  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 90ml milk (approximately 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp)
  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • 35g unsalted butter, softened
  • Nutella, a generous amount for filling
  • Whole hazelnuts for garnish
  • Cooking oil for deep frying
  • Additional caster sugar for coating
Method
  1. 1Add all-purpose flour, caster sugar, instant yeast, and salt to a clear glass bowl and briefly mix.
  2. 2Pour milk and yogurt into the dry mixture and continue to mix until a cohesive dough forms.
  3. 3Knead the partially formed dough by hand, add small cubes of softened unsalted butter, and continue kneading until the butter is incorporated and the dough is smooth and elastic.
  4. 4Transfer the dough to a wooden surface and knead further until it passes the 'windowpane test'.
  5. 5Place the kneaded dough into an oil-sprayed glass bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size for the first proofing.
  6. 6Remove the risen dough, gently roll it out on a wooden surface, and divide it into four equal portions.
  7. 7Hand-roll each dough portion into a smooth, round ball.
  8. 8Arrange the four dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them proof a second time until noticeably puffier and larger.
  9. 9Preheat cooking oil in a small pot, then carefully place each proofed dough ball into the hot oil and remove the parchment paper.
  10. 10Fry the bombolinis on medium heat, flipping with a metal spider skimmer, until golden-brown on all sides and light.
  11. 11Remove freshly fried bombolinis from oil and place on a cooling rack to cool for a few minutes.
  12. 12Poke a large hole in the top of each bombolini with a small knife.
  13. 13Generously squeeze Nutella from a piping bag into the hole of each bombolini and place a whole hazelnut on top for garnish.
  14. 14Dunk each Nutella-filled bombolini into a plate of caster sugar to coat thoroughly.
