Strawberry Bombs Recipe

Strawberry Bombs are soft, golden treats filled with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, perfect for any occasion.

Easy to make and customizable, they’re a delicious combination of light dough and sweet, fruity flavors.

Ingredients

For the dough:

300g (2 cups) all-purpose flour

1 egg

45g (1/4 cup) sugar

Pinch of salt

7g dry yeast (1 packet)

140ml (3/5 cup) warm milk

40g (1/4 cup) softened butter

For the decoration:

Whipped cream

Chopped strawberries

Granulated sugar

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and dry yeast.

Add the egg and warm milk gradually, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead in the softened butter until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the Bombs:

Divide the risen dough into equal portions (about 12 pieces).

Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Cook the Bombs:

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Bake the dough balls for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.

Let them cool slightly.

Decorate:

Once the bombs are cool, cut a small opening in each and fill with whipped cream.

Top with chopped strawberries and sprinkle with granulated sugar for a sweet finish.

Serve:

Enjoy these fluffy, creamy, and fruity strawberry bombs as a delightful dessert or snack!

Strawberry Bombs are incredibly versatile and can be adapted to suit a variety of tastes.

For a richer filling, swap whipped cream with cream cheese frosting, vanilla custard, or chocolate ganache, and consider adding a layer of strawberry jam for extra sweetness.

You can also experiment with different fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or mango chunks, or even a mix of berries for a vibrant twist.

Enhance the dough with vanilla or almond extract, or a pinch of cinnamon for added flavor.

For decoration, drizzle melted chocolate, sprinkle powdered sugar, or add crushed nuts for texture.

To ensure success, use warm milk to activate the yeast and divide the dough evenly for consistent baking.

Brush with egg wash for a golden crust, and serve fresh for the best flavor.

With endless customization options, these delightful treats are perfect for any occasion!
