Zeppole Recipe
Traditional Christmas Zeppole
Ingredients
- 4 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour (500 grams)
- 1 tsp dry active yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 cups lukewarm water (500 ml) between 110 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3 to 4 cups vegetable/canola/sunflower oil for frying
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
- 1/4 cup pine nuts (optional)
- Powdered sugar for coating
- Honey to drizzle
- Sprinkles to decorate
Instructions
- Step#1- In a large mixing bowl add your flour and salt.
- Step#2- In the lukewarm water add your sugar and yeast. Stir and let it sit for a couple minutes until it bubbles. That assures that the yeast is active and alive.
- Step#3- Now add the water/yeast to the flour. Holding the bowl steady with one hand use your other hand to beat the mixture.
- Step#4- The pine nuts and raisins can be added now.
- Step#5- Keep beating until smooth and silky.
- Step#6- In a deep frying pan heat the oil to 365 degrees Fahrenheit and drop small portions of the dough. Turn and remove once golden.
- Step#7- Add your powdered sugar or drizzle with honey and sprinkles. Both ways they’re absolutely delicious!!
