Savoury oven doughnuts for May day

Sweet, melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts are traditionally a firm favourite in many Finnish kitchens, and this has been the case here too. Always looking for something new and interesting, this time I decided to try a savoury version of these delights. Here's my taste bud-pleasing recipe for you <3

SAVOURY DOUGNUTS
(In a doughnut oven tray)

12 donuts
(dough needs to rise overnight in the fridge)

20 g fresh yeast
200 g flour
150 g wheat or spelt flour
50 g potato flour
1 teaspoon of sugar
80 ml milk
80 ml water
20 g butter at room temperature
1 yolk
1 teaspoon of salt
olive oil
chia seeds

Pour the water, milk, yeast and sugar into a bowl. Stir until the yeast is dissolved in the liquid.
Stir in the flour and add half of the flour.
Add the egg yolk, room temperature butter and mix well.
Add the remaining flour, oil and salt.
Mix with a dough hook for about 10 minutes.
Put the dough in the fridge and let it rest overnight.

The next day:
Preheat the oven to 180 C
Shape the dough into a ball and cut into 12 pieces. Roll into balls, make a hole in the middle with your finger and place on a donut pan to rise until the dough doubles in size.
