Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast, letting it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Mix in flour, salt, eggs, and melted butter until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball and place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch the dough down, roll it out to ½-inch thickness and cut into 3-inch circles. Place on a floured baking sheet and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry dough rounds for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Once cooled, fill a pastry bag with pastry cream and fill each Bomboloni until plump.
- Roll filled Bomboloni in powdered sugar and serve immediately.

Notes
Ensure oil temperature is accurate for even cooking. Allow fried donuts to cool slightly before filling to prevent cream melting.
