1 - Lift the Chef Patissier XL head and fit the head shield. Fit the Dough tool to the machine and attach the Mixer bowl to the machine2 - Add the flour, sugar, and salt into the bowl. Mix on speed 1 for 30 seconds until roughly combined.3 - Add the butter, wine, and egg yolks. Mix on speed 1 for 4 minutes until a smooth dough has formed. If the dough is too sticky, add a little flour.4 - Knead on speed 1 for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the dough fully comes together. Remove the dough tool from the machine. Wrap the dough and chill in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight (this step is optional).5 - Once chilled, remove the dough from the fridge and place on a lightly floured work surface. Divide into four equal pieces.6 - Take one piece and cover the rest. Roll out the dough into a log until roughly 2 mm thick, then use a 3.5” round cutter and cut out circles. 7 - Place each cannoli tube in the middle of dough circle and roll the tube down to the bottom edge. Then, roll it back to the top edge to shape the dough, the edges should overlap slightly in the middle. 8 - Dip your finger in egg white and lightly wet the overlapped dough to seal. To strengthen and secure the shape, roll along the worktop again, keeping the dough taught so it clings to the shape of the tube. Press it together with your finger to prevent the tube from separating when frying later. 9 - Place the wrapped tubes on the prepared baking tray. Repeat the rolling and shaping process with the remaining dough.10 - Heat the oil in a large saucepan and place over a medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 176ºC.11 - Fry the cannoli in batches of 3 for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Carefully use tongs to roll the cannoli over in the oil, then remove from the saucepan and drain the excess oil. 12 - Place on a plate or tray lined with paper towels for 30 seconds.

Dip the end of each cannoli until coated and sprinkle with the chopped pistachios. Place the cannoli onto a wire rack until the chocolate has set.16 - To make the filling, attach the clean Mixer bowl to the machine and fit the Whisk tool. 17 - Add the ricotta, mascarpone, candied peel, icing sugar, and vanilla extract and mix on speed 5 for 30 seconds until combined18 - Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
