TOTAL TIME
1
In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine bottled water, yeast, and granulated sugar. Mix it well and let it stand for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
2
After 10 minutes, add in the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Use the mixer with the hook attachment on low speed to combine the ingredients.
3
Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough for 10 minutes until it becomes smooth.
4
Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for 60 minutes or until it doubles in size.
FRYING
5
Heat the sunflower oil in a large pot or deep fryer until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C).
6
Once the oil is heated, use a medium sized cookie scoop (or 2 tablespoons) to scoop out the dough and gently drop it into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot, 4-6 donuts at a time would be perfect.
7
Fry the dough, turning often, until they reach golden brown color on all sides and are cooked through for approximately 5-6 minutes.
COATING
8
Drain the fried Zeppole on paper towels to remove excess oil, then while they are still warm, roll them in powdered sugar to coat all sides.
SERVING
9
Repeat the frying and coating process for the remaining dough, then serve your Zeppole immediately while fresh and warm. Enjoy these delightful Italian donuts!
