Battle of the zeppoles ✨ Which one’s your favorite? Baked? Fried? Bailey’s? Traditional? There’s too many options! We visited Lasalle Bakery today to celebrate! Lasalle Bakery is a full-service, family owned and operated community bakery since 1930. Each year on March 19th, Italians remember St. Joseph, the patron saint of Sicily. Zeppole are made with “choux pastry”, which can either be baked or fried. It contains only butter, water, flour, and eggs, and employs high moisture content to create steam while cooking to “puff” the pastry. This traditional St. Joseph's Day dessert is then filled with cannoli-style pastry cream, but other varieties can be created by using Bailey's Irish Cream, chocolate mousse, custard, or jelly. Zeppoles are usually topped with a swirl of the pastry filling and a cherry. 📸 onyxmediastudios #zeppole #italiandessert #rhodeisland #desserts
