Savory Tasty Donuts

To make the savory tasty donuts, first prepare the dough: pour the flour, sugar 1, and yeast 2 into the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook. Start mixing the ingredients at low speed and pour in half of the total amount of water 3.

As soon as you see the mixture coming together, add the salt 4 and the remaining water 5. Finally, add the seed oil 6 and let the mixer run for 5 minutes.

When the dough clings to the hook 7, remove it and transfer it to a work surface. Quickly shape it with your hands and give it a round of folds, bringing the four ends towards the center: first the right, then the left, bottom, and top 8. Finally, round the dough by turning it with your hands on the work surface until you get a smooth and even ball 9. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a dry place at a temperature of 79°F-82°F for about 2 hours, or until doubled in volume.

In the meantime, you can prepare the filling: heat the oil in a small pan with a clove of garlic in its skin that you have previously crushed with the palm of your hand, then add the peas 10 and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes on medium-high heat, then remove the garlic and let it cool. On a cutting board, place the olives and drained sun-dried tomatoes 11 and chop them finely 12.

Then cut the scamorza into cubes of about half an inch 13. Transfer the chopped olives and sun-dried tomatoes into a bowl along with the cheese and peas 14 and mix everything well 15.

After the rising time, the dough will have doubled in volume 16, so roll it out on a lightly floured work surface to form a rectangle of 34x12 inches 17. Spread the filling evenly over the entire surface 18.

Gently roll the dough from the longer side of the rectangle 19. Divide the obtained roll into 4 equal parts 20 and slightly stretch each piece to extend it further 21.

Cut it in half lengthwise with a sharp knife 22, then braid the two parts, making sure to turn the inner sides up so that the filling is visible (23-34).

Finally, join the ends to form a donut 25. Repeat the operation for the other 3 pieces and place the obtained donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes 26, then bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for about 25-30 minutes. When they're beautifully golden, your savory tasty donuts are ready to be served 27!
