Bomboloni are traditional Italian filled doughnuts made from a soft, enriched yeast dough. The dough is carefully fermented and shaped before being fried until golden and light. Once cooked, the bomboloni are rolled in sugar and generously filled with smooth pastry cream, creating a delicious contrast between the soft fried dough and rich, creamy centre. Particularly associated with Tuscany and central Italy, bomboloni are commonly enjoyed as a breakfast pastry or sweet treat and are best served fresh while still soft and tender.
