Mozzarella and Tomato Doughnuts Recipe
Ingredients:
- 250g strong white flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- A dash of black pepper
- 2 tsp dried yeast granules
- 25g parmesan cheese (plus extra for topping)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 100ml water

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and 25g of parmesan cheese. Set the stage for flavor perfection! -
Activate the Yeast:
Activate the dried yeast granules by adding them to warm water, letting it fizz and become frothy. This step ensures that your dough will rise to the occasion. -
Mix it Up:
Pour the activated yeast mixture into the flour mix. Add olive oil and crack in the egg. Mix until a soft, luscious dough forms. -
Knead to Perfection:
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until it reaches a smooth, non-sticky consistency. -
Prepare the Fillings:
Slice each sun-dried tomato into six pieces and cut the fresh mozzarella into 24 delightful chunks. -
Shape and Fill:
Divide the dough into 24 pieces, shaping each into a ball. Flatten each ball and place a chunk of mozzarella and a slice of tomato onto it. Draw the dough over the filling, pinch to enclose, creating a doughnut-shaped masterpiece. -
Proving Time:
Arrange the filled doughnuts on a greased baking tray. Cover with a greased plastic sheet and let them prove at room temperature for 1 hour until the dough becomes springy when pressed. -
Get Ready to Fry:
Heat oil to 180°C in a large saucepan. Test the oil’s readiness by dropping a cube of bread – if it rises immediately, you’re good to go. -
Fry to Golden Bliss:
Fry the doughnuts a few at a time for about 5 minutes or until they reach a deep golden hue. Drain them to perfection. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Whether hot or cold, these Mozzarella and Tomato Doughnuts are ready to steal the show. Sprinkle with extra parmesan for an added touch of cheesy indulgence. -
