Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk warm
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Peach Bellini Filling
  • 1 cup peach puree
  • 1/4 cup prosecco
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Frying
  • 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
For Coating
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add flour, salt, egg, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
Make the Filling
  1. In a bowl, whisk together peach puree, prosecco, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
Fry the Bomboloni
  1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the dough circles until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Coat and Fill
  1. Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Roll the warm bomboloni in the mixture to coat.
  2. Using the pastry bag, fill each bomboloni with the peach bellini filling.

Notes

Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. These bomboloni can be made ahead and filled just before serving.
