The Savory Flutes are delicious snacks made with simple ingredients like eggs, flour, yeast, and extra virgin olive oil. Soft as clouds, they remind of the famous sweet flutes with Nutella. I filled them with ham and cheese, but you can substitute them with other cold cuts and cheeses to your liking.

Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup cup milk
- 2 tsp tsp dry yeast
- 1/4 cup cup olive oil
- 1 3/4 tsp tsp salt
- 4 1/3 cups cups all-purpose flour

How to make savory flutes
Pour the flour, yeast, and egg into a large bowl.
Next, pour the milk little by little, then add the oil and salt.
Then knead well to form a dough; let it rise for 2 hours in the oven turned off with the light on.
After the resting time, divide the dough into 9 parts, roll it out with a rolling pin, and then fill with ham and cheese, making vertical cuts with a knife.
Then roll the dough from the filled side, sealing the edges, and finish with the cut part facing down.
Let them rise on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper for 20 minutes, covered with plastic wrap.
Before baking, brush them with a little milk
Bake them at 350°F for 20 minutes or until golden.
Storing savory flutes
You can store savory flutes under a cake dome until the next day. To preserve their freshness, you can also freeze them.
