The October 2010 Daring Bakers challenge was hosted by Lori of Butter Me Up. Lori chose to challenge DBers to make doughnuts. She used several sources for her recipes including Alton Brown, Nancy Silverton, Kate Neumann and Epicurious.
You might as well just declare October 2010 the month of doughnuts. Between my birthday, Lara Ferroni and The Daring Bakers, it’s doughnut central here.
Not that I’m complaining, mind you.
I’m especially not complaining about the amazing challenge that Lori put before us. Between birthday celebrations and family stuff, I only got to try one recipe but it was the one that I most wanted to try: Bomboloni.
Bomboloni are basically the Italian version of doughnut holes. They’re rolled in sugar and often filled with a pastry cream, or other delicious filling like jam or chocolate.
Almost as soon as the bomboloni were fried I was pumping them full of Nutella like you wouldn’t believe.
Not only were these doughnuts plump, soft and tasty, they were filled with Nutella.
What more do you want?!
Thanks to Lori for a great challenge! Check out what all the other Daring Bakers did!
Ciao!

Your Nutella bombolonis look dangerously delicious. Even so, I wish I could have one (or 12) right now.

Hi Lisa – Here’s the recipe: http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/raspberry-jam-bomboloni. Instead of jam I used Nutella to fill the doughnuts. Sorry for the late reply.
