Savory Broccoli and Sausage Ring Cake

I can provide you with the recipe for a delicious savory ring cake with broccoli and sausage, a dish that combines the goodness of vegetables with the strong flavor of meat. However, I remind you that broccoli may be disturbing to some people, so always make sure your guests appreciate this ingredient.

Ingredients

• 300 g of flour
• 200 g of broccoli
• 150 g of sausage
• 3 eggs
• 100 ml of milk
• 80 ml of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 sachet of instant yeast for savory preparations
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
2. Clean the broccoli, divide it into florets, and blanch them in slightly salted water until they are tender but still crunchy. Drain and set aside to cool.
3. In a frying pan, cook the crumbled sausage until it becomes golden and crispy. Drain any excess fat and let it cool.
4. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
5. Incorporate the sifted flour and mix until you have a homogeneous dough.
6. Add the yeast to the mixture and stir again.
7. Add the cooled broccoli and sausage to the dough. Gently mix to distribute them evenly.
8. Pour the mixture into a ring cake mold previously greased with some oil or lined with parchment paper.
9. Bake the ring cake for about 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Take the ring cake out of the oven and let it cool before unmolding.

A tip: for an even more aromatic touch, you can add herbs such as rosemary or thyme to the dough.

Note: If you do not have one of the above-mentioned spices or if you want to add a personal touch, customize the dish to your liking.

This preparation represents an excellent solution for a buffet or a homemade aperitif and lends itself to many variations; for example, you can add cubes of cheese to the dough to make it more stringy, or olives for a touch of Mediterranean flavor.
