Description
These rustic Italian wine doughnuts from the Roman Castles are infused with wine and perfect for dunking in milk or enjoying with a glass of wine.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 glass of wine (I used a Nero d'Avola a sicilian red wine, you can also use a chardonnay - the taste will be slightly different depending on the type of wine you're using)
- 3/4 glass of extra virgin olive oil ( you can also use 50% peanut oil 50% olive oil)
- 3/4 glass of sugar
- flour to knead the dough (I used about 350gr)
- a pinch of baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a large bowl, mix together the wine, olive oil, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking soda.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing continuously until the dough becomes thick and silky. The dough should be firm enough to shape but still pliable.
- Shape the dough into small rings or doughnut shapes.
- Place the doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the doughnuts are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Serve with wine or milk.
Notes
- The alcohol in the wine evaporates during baking, making these doughnuts suitable for children when dunked in milk.
- You can experiment with different types of wine for varied flavors.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
