Steps
To prepare the Nutella-filled bomboloni, follow these simple steps:
Start by mixing all-purpose flour, Greek yogurt, sugar (or erythritol for a lighter version), and instant baking powder in a bowl. Knead for a few minutes until you get a soft and homogeneous dough.
Divide the dough into 4 parts and, using a rolling pin, roll each portion into a disc.
In the center of each disc, add a tablespoon of hazelnut cream (preferably pre-frozen). Close the discs to form small buns and seal the edges well.
Brush the surface of each bombolone with a mix of egg yolk and a dash of milk.
Cook the bomboloni in the air fryer at 340°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden, turning them halfway through cooking. Alternatively, bake in a hot oven at 356°F for 25-30 minutes.
Add some powdered sugar on the bomboloni and serve warm. Enjoy!
