Zippula

A zippula (: zippuli; Italian: zeppola or zeppola calabrese) is a fried dough made to a recipe from Calabria, Italy. A zippula is made with flour, water, yeast, boiled potatoes, and a pinch of salt. There are many variations: often anchovies are added, but salt cod, stockfish, cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or 'nduja may also be added.

Though variations exist amongst some Calabrian families, the zippula dough is prepared with fresh parsley, formed into zippuli and deep-fried in a skillet.

They are traditional in the provinces of Reggio Calabria, Catanzaro, Vibo Valentia and Cosenza.
