The Savory Flutes are delightful snacks made with simple ingredients like eggs, flour, yeast, and extra virgin olive oil. As fluffy as clouds, they are reminiscent of the famous sweet flutes with Nutella. I filled them with cooked ham and cheese, but you can substitute with other cold cuts and cheeses as you wish.

Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup cups milk
- 2.5 tsp dry yeast
- 1/4 cup cups olive oil
- 2 tsp tsp salt
- 4 1/2 cups cups all-purpose flour
- 4 oz oz cooked ham
- 3.5 oz oz scamorza cheese
How to make Savory Flutes
Pour the flour, yeast, and egg into a large bowl.
Next, gradually pour in the water and milk, then add the oil and salt.
Knead well to form a dough ball; let it rise for 2 hours in the turned-off oven with the light on.
After the resting time, divide the dough into 9 parts, roll it out with a rolling pin, then fill with ham and cheese. Make vertical cuts with a knife.
Then roll the dough starting from the filled part, sealing the edges, and finish with the cut side facing down.
Let them rise on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper for 20 minutes, covered with plastic wrap.
Before baking them, brush them with a little milk.
Bake them at 350°F (180°C) for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Storing Savory Flutes
Savory Flutes can be kept under a cake dome until the next day. To preserve their freshness, you can also freeze them.
