I followed this recipe exactly (used an instant yeast packet instead of the fresh yeast) and the bombolinis we just perfect! This was literally my first time making any sort of yeasted or fried thing but they still came out looking like they were from a bakery (actually 100 times better than a bakery). Im going to make these so many times now!

Super easy, I do love making yeast breads and sweet rolls and this recipe doesn’t disappoint. My teenage grandson, my daughter and myself spent a few hours on a Sunday putting these together and everyone loved them. I mixed a bit of whipped cream in with pastry cream to lighten it up and we have ideas for the next time we make these. Bake shop worthy!

THESE REMIND ME OF HAWAIIAN (PORTUGUESE) MALASADAS! THEY LOK JUST LIKE THEM. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING THE RECIPE.

I'm really excited to try this recipe!! Is it okay if I leave the dough over night?

In reply to Diana. Hi Diana! I would store them at room temperature if empty - or in the fridge if filled. I wouldn’t want the pastry cream to go sour! You can microwave these for a few seconds before eating them :-)

Hi there. Can these be stored on the countertop at room temperature overnight? Or should you store in the fridge? Thanks

This recipe has what I've been looking for...Have you ever proved these in the fridge over night (after being cut)? If so, what would be the process? Take them out about an hour before frying so they can come to room temp?

In reply to PRACHI SHARMA. Hi Prachi! Thank you for your comment! My go-to egg substitute is ground flaxseed mixed with water, however I have not personally tested it in this recipe. That could be used to substitute the whole eggs, but I am not sure for the extra egg yolks. Honestly I would recommend finding a fully vegan doughnut recipe for best results (you can always substitute the vegan dairy replacers for actual dairy products).

Hello, Greetings from India! Is there any substitute for eggs? My mom doesn't eat eggs and I've been dying to make Bombolonis at home. Please let know if there's anyway that I can sub the eggs without affecting the texture and taste much. thank you!

In reply to Susie Chamblee. Susie, I was just reading your comments and I got so excited because I went to school in Erie at Gannon many moons ago. When parents visited or if there was a male suitor who who wanted to impress we went to Serafini’s! I never heard the back story of the siblings who started it, which is charming. I am so glad to learn that it is still in business. Do many of the cousins still run it and are they still a close knit family for the most part? Thanks for sharing your story. It sparked a warm memory for me. I now live in Lancaster PA and carry wonderful memories of my time in Erie. Do you still live there?
