Krapfen, also called bomboloni, are Italian doughnuts (sometimes spelled donuts!) from Alto Adige with origins that go back hundreds of years. There are many different hypotheses about who invented krapfen, but the most popular seems to be either a baker in Berlin, which would explain the German name “Berliner” for these doughnuts, or a pastry chef from Vienna named Krapf, after which the krapfen are said to be named. Either way, these scrumptious jelly or cream filled bomboloni are a sugary treat you can make at home following this step-by-step recipe.
Are krapfen and jelly donuts the same thing?
As you probably know, the typical American doughnut has a hole in the middle, but the jelly doughnut is an exception to this rule and instead of a hole they are filled with jelly (of course!). In fact, the jelly donuts you find in a baker’s dozen in the United States are very similar to the jelly filled bomboloni from Alto Adige.
What are the most common krapfen doughnut fillings?
The original krapfen recipe from Alto Adige calls for an apricot jam filling, but other popular fillings include different flavors of jams and jellies as well as a cream, chocolate or nutella filling.

What you need to make Italian doughnuts
When making bomboloni, the crucial ingredients are:
- Fresh milk and butter– these doughnuts are from a region known for its wonderful dairy products, so the fresher the milk and butter you use, the more it will taste like the original recipe
- Organic lemons – for the zest, it is always a good idea to use organic lemons that are not treated with pesticides or other chemicals.
- Manitoba flour – this is actually a flour that is high in gluten which works best for this recipe, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour.
- Farm fresh eggs – to ensure the best, freshest taste. Read More...
