Ingredients for 8 Savory Donuts
In this recipe, I used self-rising flour. It allows us to avoid any resting time. It’s now available in almost every supermarket, but if you can’t find it, you can mix regular all-purpose flour with a packet of instant yeast for savory pies.
If you prefer, you can replace the speck with smoked bacon or, for a milder version, with cooked ham.
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg (medium)
- 3.2 oz speck (thick slices)
- chives (a few stems)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 tsp salt
Tools
You can also make the dough for these savory donuts with a mixer.
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Food Processor
- 1 Baking Sheet
- Scissors
Preparation of the Savory Donuts
Sift the flour into a bowl and add the milk.
Give a first stir with a spoon, then add the egg, oil, and salt and incorporate them into the mixture.
Then also add the finely chopped speck (I put it in a mixer) and the chives cut with scissors.
Knead with your hands first inside the bowl, then transfer everything onto a lightly floured work surface and work vigorously with your hands until you get a smooth and homogeneous dough.
Form a flattened dough ball and cut it into pieces.
With each piece, form a roll 8 inches long and close the ends to create a small donut. Proceed the same way until all the dough is used up. It’s an easily workable dough that allows you to put together any scraps.
Place the savory donuts on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated static oven at 392°F for 13/15 minutes. Once baked, they should be well golden.
Remove the savory donuts from the oven and let them cool slightly before enjoying. Enjoy! Paola.
