Steps:
- Add 2-inch oil to a large pot and heat to 375˚F (190˚C).
- In a medium saucepan on medium-low heat, add water, butter, sugar and salt. Cook until butter melts completely.
- Lower the heat and add flour. Use the wooden spoon to mix vigorously until well combined.
- Transfer the dough into a large mixing bowl. Let it cool off slightly, about 3-5 minutes, then add eggs, one at a time. Mix the eggs with the dough using a hand-mixer or wooden spoon. (Make sure your dough is not too hot, otherwise the eggs will scramble when added to the dough.)
- Check the temperature of the oil, if it's ready, it's time to fry the donuts. Use a small spoon to spoon out the batter, and then use another spoon or spatula to scrape the batter into the oil. Make sure to lower the spoon into the oil very gently so that you won't splash the oil onto yourself.
- Cook in batches and fry 10-12 donuts at a time. Fry for 4-5 minutes for each batch until they turn golden brown. You'll need to turn them over from time to time to make sure all sides get cooked properly.
- Remove cooked zeppole from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel lined plate.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 3 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp honey, 2 tsp dry active yeast 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 1/2 cup warm water.
- Using the hook attachment, mix until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the mixer bowl. Depending on the flour you use, you may need to add more. Add 1-2 tablespoons extra at a time.
- Transfer the dough to a bowl greased with olive oil and cover it with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- In the meantime, fill a heavy-bottomed pot with about 2 inches of corn oil or any other high smoke point oil like vegetable or canola. Bring the heat to medium-high. Using an instant-read thermometer, make sure the oil is between 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Now using kitchen shears, snip off small pieces (about 1 1/2 tablespoon) of the dough and use a spoon to scrape the zeppole dough into the hot oil.
- Fry the zeppole for about 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to fried Italian donuts into a plate lined with paper towels.
- Once the zeppole are done and slightly cooled, dust them in powdered sugar and enjoy!

Steps:
- Cut open the vanilla bean lengthwise. Using the back of a knife, scrape along the inside of the vanilla bean to collect the seeds. Scrape vanilla bean seeds into a small bowl. Add the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon and stir to combine. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan combine the butter, salt, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and water over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Take pan off the heat and stir in the flour. Return pan to the heat and stir continuously until mixture forms a ball, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the flour mixture to a medium bowl. Using an electric hand mixer on low speed, add eggs, 1 at a time, incorporating each egg completely before adding the next. Beat until smooth. If not frying immediately, cover with plastic wrap and reserve in the refrigerator.
- Meanwhile, pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
- Using a small ice-cream scooper or 2 small spoons, carefully drop about a tablespoon of the dough into the hot olive oil, frying in batches. Turn the zeppole once or twice, cooking until golden and puffed up, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Toss with cinnamon-sugar. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of oil to 370 degrees F on a candy thermometer. The oil should be about 3 inches deep and not come up more than halfway up the side of the pot.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut the rectangle into 16 equal portions.
- Mix together the ricotta, nutmeg, oregano, salt and pepper. Put about a tablespoon of the filling onto the dough, placing it so that you can easily close the dough around it. Brush the edge of the dough with water.
- Press the dough closed around the filling. Making sure that the dough is sealed well, so the filling won't come out while it is frying.
- Place the doughnuts in the hot oil for about 2 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Put only a few doughnuts in the oil at a time, they should not be crowded or they will not fry evenly.
- Flip the doughnuts over and fry the second side for another 2 minutes. Make sure your oil is staying around 370°F.
- When the doughnuts are done frying, use a basket skimmer to remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain the excess oil.
- Serve with the tomato sauce or pesto sauce.
