Ingredients
Bombolini
- 7g Yeast1 sachet instant dried yeast
- 3/4cup Milkwarm milk
- 1/4cup Caster Sugar
- 2cups Plain Flourplus extra to dust
- 1/8tsp Saltlarge pinch of salt
- 1 Eggwhisked
- 40g Buttermelted
- Vegetable Oilfor frying bombolini
- Cinnamon Sugarto coat bombolini
Chocolate Sauce
- 3/4cup Thickened Cream
- 200g dark chocolateroughly chopped
Instructions
- In a small jug add yeast to warm milk and stir to mix.
- In a medium bowl, add sugar, flour, salt, eggs, butter and milk & yeast mixture. Using an electric mixer, beat for about 2 minutes until fully combined.
- Cover bowl with tea towel and set aside in a warm place for 60 minutes to allow mixture to rise a little.
- Line baking trays with baking paper and set aside.
- Heavily dust a working surface and scoop golf ball sized clumps of dough from the bowl, dust with flour and roll into a ball, then place on the baking tray. You will make about 18 dough balls. Not: This is a particularly sticky and messy step and your hands will get very sticky with dough. You will need plenty of flour during this step.. I found this step easiest by using a spatula to get a clump of dough from the bowl, then place it immediately onto the flour on the work surface. Try to coat the dough fully to allow you to work it into a ball. Keep your hands coated with flour as best you can.
- Cover the baking trays with tea towels and set aside in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan over medium low heat, add vegetable oil to about 2 cm depth. Heat oil to approx 160°C (320°F).
- Once temperature has been reach place about 4 dough balls into the oil and cook for about 4 minutes. Note: the dough balls will start to expand when they cook in the oil. I like continually spoon oil onto the top of each dough ball as it is cooking. This helps to make each dough ball form a more rounded shape. Cook each dough ball about 2 minutes each side.
- Remove each dough ball using a slotted spoon and place onto a plate lined with paper towel to lightly drain.
- Roll each dough ball in a bowl of cinnamon sugar to fully coat each bombolini.
Chocolate Sauce
- Add water to a saucepan over medium high heat.
- Add thickened cream and dark chocolate to a medium bowl and place over the saucepan.
- Allow the heat to melt the chocolate and cream mixture. Stir regularly until the chocolate is fully melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
- Serve bombolini warm with warm chocolate sauce for dipping.
