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
- 1Add all-purpose flour, caster sugar, instant yeast, and salt to a clear glass bowl and briefly mix.
- 2Pour milk and yogurt into the dry mixture and continue to mix until a cohesive dough forms.
- 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.
- 4Transfer the dough to a wooden surface and knead further until it passes the 'windowpane test'.
- 5Place the kneaded dough into an oil-sprayed glass bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size for the first proofing.
- 6Remove the risen dough, gently roll it out on a wooden surface, and divide it into four equal portions.
- 7Hand-roll each dough portion into a smooth, round ball.
- 8Arrange the four dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them proof a second time until noticeably puffier and larger.
- 9Preheat cooking oil in a small pot, then carefully place each proofed dough ball into the hot oil and remove the parchment paper.
- 10Fry the bombolinis on medium heat, flipping with a metal spider skimmer, until golden-brown on all sides and light.
- 11Remove freshly fried bombolinis from oil and place on a cooling rack to cool for a few minutes.
- 12Poke a large hole in the top of each bombolini with a small knife.
- 13Generously squeeze Nutella from a piping bag into the hole of each bombolini and place a whole hazelnut on top for garnish.
- 14Dunk each Nutella-filled bombolini into a plate of caster sugar to coat thoroughly.
