The quick savory donuts are soft, savory bombs that require no rising, baked in the oven. I didn’t know what to prepare for dinner, we had no bread, so I thought of making rustic little bombs with a super-fast dough that doesn’t need to rise. They disappeared in a flash! Soft, super fluffy and with a delicious and gooey filling, the quick savory donuts are prepared in just a few minutes without butter and eggs and go straight into baking. I filled them with cooked ham and cheese (but you can obviously customize the filling with your preferred ingredients) and baked them in the oven for a lighter version, but you can also fry them, they will be even softer and more delicious!
- Difficulty: Easy
- Cost: Cheap
- Preparation time: 10 Minutes
- Portions: 8 quick savory donuts
- Cooking methods: Oven
- Cuisine: Italian
- Seasonality: All seasons
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 7/8 cup milk
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 packet instant yeast for savory preparations
- 1 tsp salt (level)
- 1 cup scamorza cheese
- 3.5 oz cooked ham
Steps
The quick savory donuts are very simple and extremely quick to prepare. First, place the flour, milk, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and yeast in a bowl and form a smooth, homogeneous dough, which will be a little soft.
Work the dough on a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces (about 2.6 oz each).
Roll each piece out to form a circle just under 1/5 inch thick, fill it with a bit of cooked ham and chopped scamorza, then close it by forming a ball, sealing the closure well.
Transfer the quick savory donuts onto a baking tray, brush them with a little milk, and bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for about 20 minutes, until they are golden brown.
Notes:
The quick savory donuts can be stored at room temperature for a few hours or in the fridge for a couple of days. You can fill the savory bombs with your preferred filling and also fry them for an even more delicious version.
