Tiramisu Bomboloni
Instructions
1
Prepare instant coffee and hot water mixture and let it cool. In a bowl, whisk together Egg yolks, Sugar. Beat until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and creamy (about 3-5 minutes). Gently whisk the mascarpone into the yolk mixture until smooth. Add 2-3 tsp of instant coffee mixture and mix everything together.
2
Don't overmix - mascarpone can split if worked too much.
3
Whip the cream In a separate bowl. Whip to soft-medium peaks.
4
Fold the cream into the mascarpone mixture. Cover it and refrigerate it for good couple of hours.
5
In a mixing bowl, combine bread flour, cake flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add the egg + milk mixture. Mix until a rough dough forms. Add the softened butter and continue kneading until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled.
6
Punch down the risen dough and make balls each weighing about 74-75g. Place on parchment-lined trays, cover, and let rise for 35-45 minutes until puffy.
7
Heat oil to 160-165°C (medium heat). Low heat helps them cook evenly and stay light.
8
Fry 1-2 pieces at a time. Do not overcrowd.
9
Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until golden. Let them cool down.
10
Fit a piping bag with a medium round tip and fill the piping bag with the prepared filling.Poke a small hole on the side of each bombolone and fill in with caramel.
11

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Bloom Your Yeast Properly 🧪Dissolve instant dry yeast in warm water (110°F) for 5 minutes before mixing into dough to ensure maximum rise and fluffy texture in your bomboloni.
- Temperature Control for Mascarpone Cream 🌡️Keep mascarpone at room temperature and fold gently into whipped cream and beaten egg yolks to prevent curdling and achieve a silky, stable filling.
- Coffee Soaking Balance ☕Dilute instant coffee with minimal water and brush lightly onto warm bomboloni—oversaturating will make them soggy instead of delightfully moist.
- Flour Blend Ratio for Perfect Texture 🌾Mix cake flour and bread flour in a 2:1 ratio to achieve the ideal tender crumb with enough structure to hold the rich mascarpone filling without deflating.
- Dual Dusting Technique ✨Dust bomboloni with cocoa powder twice—once before filling and once after—to create a professional appearance and ensure cocoa flavor in every bite.
