Did you know that
as an alternative to white flour, wholemeal flours, even from different cereals, can be used. In this case, it will be important to adjust the dose of liquid according to the type of consistency that is obtained. We remind you that flours too rich in fiber tend to weigh down the dough, therefore the savory pie will be less soft and more compact.- In the center, pour the water and the extra virgin olive oil, then mix until you get a thick batter.
- As a last ingredient, add the yeast for quiches.
- Pour half of the dough into the pan: fill to taste with the drained tuna in oil. Cover the topping with the remaining batter.
Some alternative ideas
As an alternative to tuna, it is possible to fill the savory pie with ham and cheese, smoked salmon, sautéed cherry tomatoes, mushroom aubergines, sautéed mushrooms and much more!- Place in the oven immediately and bake in the oven at 160 ° C (mode: ventilated) for 40-45 minutes.
- Before taking the savory pie out of the oven, the toothpick test is recommended to ascertain the correct cooking point.
- Remove from the mold, cut into slices and serve: the water cake is excellent both hot and cold. It can be kept in the fridge for 4 days.
