Prepare the Dough
Mixing Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the water, eggs, and olive oil. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Resting the Dough
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
Fry the Zeppoli
Heating the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Frying
Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop small portions of dough into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and puffed, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
