Time 2h10m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Heat about 3 inches of oil in a saucepan to 375 degrees F (119 degrees C). In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Sir the remaining 1/2 cup water into the bowl. Add flour, beating vigorously until a soft dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a smooth surface, and knead with greased hands until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 1 to 1/1/2 hours.
  • Fry golf ball sizes of dough in batches until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and eat while still hot.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my zeppoli were really dense and oily.

Not bad, but not the best zeppoli I've ever had.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my zeppoli didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected.

I'm not usually a fan of fried dough, but these zeppoli were amazing. They were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.

I've made zeppoli before, but this recipe was by far the best. The dough was easy to work with and the zeppoli cooked up perfectly.

These zeppoli were a hit at my Italian-themed party! They were light and fluffy, and the powdered sugar coating was the perfect finishing touch.
