Hey Emily it's good to see you around here, hope you're okay

We should get Emily's channel some boost in subs also not just her but also the other folks from Epicurious they're so entertaining just to make us learn how to properly cook too bad Lorenzo hasn't got YT

Hi Frank from the Institute of Culinary Education

[@greenking9336]

Honestly I don’t watch these to learn to cook, I just enjoy listening to Frank

Wow, a little unkind. Be nice. Birdy

[@cristianespinal9917]

I would always get these at the San Gennaro Feast in NY when I was a kid. My local pizzeria growing up had them too. I haven't seen one in years now, so I went searching for a recipe. Thanks, Frank!

[@worrystone4109]

Wow he looks like he's a chef for a youtube channel that does 3 levels of cooks... hmmm I wonder-

OMG!!! I just made these Zeppolies and when I tell you I am in love with this recipe, I mean it! My family loves them!

I’m glad they liked them

[@KT-yq7ed]

OMG I have to make them right now!!!!! haven’t had them for ages…….👵🏻

[@brc3237]

I just made these with my aspiring chef grandson. They were huge hit. Last time I made this was with my grandmother 60 years ago great memories thanks chef

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

This always reminds me of my Nanny.

I haven't had these since St Ann's Festival in Hoboken, exactly as described. They are sold by grandma's and handed out in paper bags with a very generous pour of sugar.

[@Ively-Creations]

Awww, Hoboken is where I grew up. And it's the BEST place for this delicious, magical fun-ness!!!

God Bless Aunt Lucy…….made these today…..ate about ten of them throughout the day…..it was my b/d so I had company and they loved them…..was happy to find out that after frying I could freeze them…last up to three months…..tks Frank this will be my go to recipe…..and yes I coughed a couple times inhaling the powered sugar….. I remember the feast of St Francis ~ Our Lady of Loretta Parish…they would have all the statues and parade up and down the streets……. good memories…..

[@dorisproman5589]

Frank thank you for being honest. We love you here in Georgia!!

[@tonymusolino2369]

Your recipe is spot on. I make your zeppoli all the time. Only difference is, I use a pair of chopsticks or the handles of 2 wooden spoons to flip them. And i drain them in my deep fryer basket with a sheet tray underneath to catch the oil. Also i only add the powdered sugar to them after they’ve cooled a bit. My mom used to fill them with chocolate cannoli cream. Delicioso!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@cml222444]

FINALLY….. THE CORRECT WAY!!!!!!!! WITH YEAST…. all the other “pretenders” make it with eggs and no yeast,.! That is either a form of choux pastry or churros, Nice work Frank! Finally-- THE ITALIAN WAY. Thanks

[@bernadetteliguori2563]

Yes finally a ecipe with yeast. I ordered these at a Italian Restaurant and it was like eating fried bread. Very disappointed 10:48

[@haroldhenderson2824]

The simplicity of fried yeast dough covered in powdered sugar. One of the reasons people learned to cook.

[@kurokazan7808]

This looks a lot like something we have here in the Netherlands. We call it oliebollen. It's a newyears treat

[@SirBlade666]

In the Netherlands we call these "oliebollen" (oil balls). Some options to make them even better, mix some raisins through the dough, mix some cinnamon through the icing sugar, or even better, both.

[@emmayoung3355]

Or some apple! Yum

[@sophroniel]

Was gonna say the same! Is it a Netherlands thing to have them at New Years? My fam is Swedish, but a close family to ours is Dutch and my entire childhood the grandmother of the family made them every NYE and only then

[@SirBlade666]

@@sophroniel Yes, it is. The tradition must be at least a 100-150 years old.

The are not zeppeli

[@frankyoualot]

@@emmayoung3355 wow, great suggestion! i'd chop up the apple w a touch of water, and cook slightly in the microwave to lightly soften them with some sugar and cinnamon, since the doughnuts only take 2 minutes, hope that helps!

[@G_Vella1998]

here in Malta, we fill them up with sweet ricotta and cover them in honey, they are magnificent. You can only buy them around the19th of March (feast of St Joseph)

I LOVE THAT YOU ADD EVERYTHING INTO ONE BOWL!! YOU ARE VERY GOOD IN EXPLAINING THE RECIPE THANK YOU

Thank you so much

Paper bag is what makes them better!

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

Agreed

[@mindyourmess4386]

Thanks for sharing! I remember as a kid going to the carnival and getting these fresh out of the grease they would put them in a white paper bag with tons of confectioners sugar and you get to shaking. Gonna try these this weekend

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

Same here. Homemade are better.

[@ritagonzalez8923]

Thank you,fantastic demonstration!

You did such a great job with this Chef. Thanks so much for sharing! My grandmother would make them every summer during feast season and I've been looking for a good recipe, now I've found it!

[@Alisson1989b]

In Brazil we call them "bolinho de chuva", something like "rain cake" and we use sugar and cinnamon in the end, i really love this recipe.

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

That sounds great

[@YackBackatcha]

You said it! We only had these delicacies on holidays.♥️

[@MalcomB516]

Made these today and not a baker or ever made dough. Came out perfect and the family devoured them. THANK YOU!

I would make these as a kid but we always put them on a brown paper bag when they came out of the oil. Then put the 10x on them. So good!

Yum Yum. So glad you mentioned the anchovy zeppole. That's how my mom used to make them. Thank you!!

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

I hated them as a kid but love them now.

[@diannevita4574]

My husband INSISTS that zeppolis are made with left over pizza dough (like that ever exists!). He tries to make them with that & they come out super chewy. YUK! I've been saying that they should be light & airy like doughnuts. Frank agrees with me, I see.

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

I’ve been married long enough not to get involved. P.s. your right

[@lmtoot]

Add a couple potatoes

[@kamcam4269]

This recipe was absolutely perfect!! Thank you!

[@samisayque]

Thanks Frank! I made these at 1am and didn’t want to heat up oil so I just tossed globs of the dough into the air fryer and they still turned out very good. Cheers!

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

Glad they turned out good

I really want to make these now, they look delicious!

[@michele-kt]

YUM!!! Your kitchen must smell like the San Gennaro feast in Manhattan and the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel feast in Brooklyn I grew up going to! They would put a dozen zeppole in the bag then drop a half cup of powdered sugar on top. We would shake the bag of zeppole to get the powdered sugar all over them. 😋😋😋 My great aunt used to put ricotta with cinnamon and sugar inside of her zeppole!

In Greece they are called "loukouma'des". Usually you get them with cinnamon and powdered sugar or with honey syrup and cinnamon .In my family we use to make them in cold winter nights. There is also a savory version with soft and creamy feta cheese in.

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

Great job!

[@primeline31]

Wonderful! FYI - 1 pack of dry yeast = 7g or ¼ oz. or 2 ¼ teaspoons

[@omikronweapon]

Instantly reminded me of the Dutch "oliebollen" ("oil-spheres") I guess it's just a regional variation on fried doughballs. Although I was interested to learn that in some regions in Italy Zeppole are eaten at new years celebrations, either with the anchovy, or with sultanas, as

[@evelynwilliams5174]

My grandmom never measured anything either,as I rarely do unless there is a recipe requires exact measurements. She made them just like you did👍👏❤️ She would make a mountain of flour on the table and eggs in the middle and proceeded to make dough for whatever pasta she was making for dinner. Sure miss all that!😊

[@frankyoualot]

Less greasy = maintain 350 degrees (use a candy thermometer!), don't fiddle with them much, flip over delicately and lift out of oil...if you flood the pot with too many (5+) the oil temp goes down and the oil will soak into the dough more...hope that helps! thanks, Frank

[@OurKitchenClassroom]

A big thank you to Aunt Lucy, indeed!!! 💜💜💜 Do you put the anchovy in the middle of this sweetened dough, or are you making a separate savory dough? I can imagine that these would also be delicious if they were flecked with herbs and dusted with finely grated hard, dry cheese such as Pecorino Romano or Grana Padano after frying! 😋😋😋

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

A separate dough. They would be good with cheese too.

[@connerpoul6630]

What ?

[@DavidFSloneEsq]

Nice. I’d never heard of the savory version, but now I absolutely must try that! Growing up Jewish, I didn’t have any aunts cooking these, so my “authentic” experience is a little different: Once you’ve decided that you can no longer deal with pushing though the crowds in the street at San Gennaro, you decide to “sneak” onto the sidewalk. You see an old man, tired after hours of slaving over a vat of hot oil, grabbing handfuls of dough and slapping them into the bubbling fat, the inch of ash on his cigarette dangling over the pot. As much as you want to avoid the throng, you force yourself back out into the street, so that you can buy some of these heavenly, fatty clouds. The cashier throws a bunch into a brown paper bag, dusts in some sugar, and gives the bag a shake. You eat them quickly, burning the roof of your mouth, before the zeppoli get soggy and the oil soaks through the bag. You are satisfied, but still too young to realize how lucky you are to live in New York.

Been there (San Gennaro), done that! 😄
