Savory Tomato Crumpets

A savory, Mediterranean reimagining of the classic crumpet. The unique honeycomb structure absorbs flavors, but here we bake flavor right in. Pre-cooked tomato cubes caramelize inside the dough, adding deep flavor and acidity to cut the richness. A perfect savory brunch where soft dough meets roasted vegetable texture.

Instructions

Warm milk, add sugar and yeast. Wait 10 mins for foam.

Tip: No foam = dead yeast. Start over.

Dice tomatoes small, remove seeds. Sauté in hot pan to evaporate water.

Tip: Dehydration is key; raw tomatoes will make the crumpet soggy.
3

Mix flour/salt. Add egg, butter, yeast milk. Whisk to smooth batter.

Tip: Smooth batter = even bubbles.
4

Fold in cooked tomatoes.

Tip: Don't mash them.
5

Tip: CO2 bubbles inflate the dough.
6

Cook in greased rings ~5 mins per side.

Recipe FAQ

Batter too thick or pan too cold.
Canned tomatoes?
