Serves : 4

Ingredients 

• 1 kg flour; 1 cup Di Augusto Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 3 eggs; 70 g brewer's yeast

Let yeast soften into warmed milk and mix with flour, sugar, the pinch of salt and the eggs. Knead the dough.

Roll the dough out gently till to have a rectangular shape (about 1cm thickness) and cut out many round circles with a 10 cm pastry ring.

Let the circles rise for approx 2 hours, till they have doubled in size their volume. Once the circles have risen, heat the Di Augusto Extra Virgin Olive Oil to about 180°C in a large saucepan or deep fryer.
