Zippula (pl.: zippuli; Italian: zeppola or zeppola calabrese) is a fried dough made to a recipe from Calabria, Italy. Zippula is made with flour, water, yeast, boiled potatoes, and a pinch of salt.[1] There are many variations: often anchovies are added, but salt cod, stockfish, cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, olives or 'nduja may also be added.[2]

Although variations exist amongst some Calabrian families, 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.
