Buongiorno,
November 11, in Italy is Saint Martin and in Sicily we use to prepare Zeppole.
What is Zeppole? It is a fried dough ball very soft inside and very crisp outside, that we use to roll in sugar or in honey.
Sometimes we prepare it also with anchovies inside.
And here my family recipe prepared by my Mom and my Aunt Rita
Here are the ingredients and the steps. You can find the video recipe in my Instagram page (my profile - highlights) or in my YouTube channel.

All Purpose Flour
Warm water
Yeast
Salt
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

In another bowl place a part of the warm water with salt

when the dough is smoot, cover it and leave raising for 2 hours or so.
