Zeppole Recipe
Zeppole Recipe is a classic Italian dessert of simple fried dough that is coated and tossed in sugar and served up!
Ingredients
- 380 g 13 ½ ounces room temp water
- 13 g 1/2 ounce active yeast
- 650 g 23 ounces flour
- 16 g 1/2 ounce salt
- oil for cooking
- powdered sugar for coating
Instructions
- Add the water to a stand mixer with the hook attachment and then whisk in the yeast until combined. Let stand for 8-10 minutes.
- Next, turn the mixer on low and add in the flour and mix until combined. Add in the salt.
- Knead the dough on medium-low speed for 10 minutes.
- Cover and let stand for 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Heat up the oil until it reaches 375°.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or 2 tablespoons scoop some of the dough out and add it to the hot oil and cook until golden brown and cooked throughout, about 5-6 minutes. Be sure to turn then often so that they brown on all sides. Repeat until all the dough has been used and only cook 4-6 at a time in the pot so that they do not become over-crowded.
- Drain the zeppole on a paper towel and generously sprinkle on powdered sugar and serve.
