Zippole are a traditional Sardinian pastry, typically served during carnival season. To make zippole, start by combining flour, yeast, sugar, and warm water in a bowl. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and a sticky dough forms.

Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about an hour. Once the dough has doubled in size, heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C).

Use a spoon to scoop up small portions of the dough and drop them into the hot oil, frying until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove the zippole from the oil with a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

To finish, dust the zippole with powdered sugar and serve immediately while they are still warm. Zippole are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a side of Nutella or honey for dipping.

Enjoy your Sardinian zippole!
