About this recipe
Mini Filoni with Green Olives Thermomix TM7 recipes bring the scent of an Italian bakery straight into your kitchen. These small oval rolls combine strong manitoba flour with plain flour, giving a chewy yet tender crumb that carries the salty bursts of pitted green olives beautifully, all enriched with fruity extra virgin olive oil. With your all-in-one kitchen machine, the dough comes together in one bowl: the built-in scale weighs the flours and water precisely, while the kneading function develops the gluten to a smooth, elastic consistency without any sticky hands. These mini filoni are the ideal savoury snack or side for an Italian dinner, wonderful warm from the oven with a drizzle of oil, alongside cheese and cured meats, or split for small sandwiches. Anyone searching for olive bread TM7 recipes will find these little loaves deliver professional bakery results at home with minimal effort and maximum flavour.
Preparation tips
- Pat the pitted green olives dry with kitchen paper before adding them to the manitoba dough, as excess brine can loosen the crumb and make the mini filoni dense instead of airy.
- Shape the filoni with tension by folding the olive-flecked dough towards the centre, then roll seam-side down on the worktop for a taut surface that bakes into an attractive crackly crust.
- For deeper flavour, let the kneaded dough prove slowly in the fridge overnight; the olive oil and green olives infuse the crumb, and the cold dough is far easier to shape into neat mini loaves.
Recipe variations
- Make a rosemary and olive version by adding a spoonful of chopped fresh rosemary to the dough; the herb complements the green olives and gives the mini filoni a wonderful Tuscan aroma.
- For a festive aperitivo variation, divide the dough into smaller cocktail-size filoni and top with grated pecorino and a sprinkle of sea salt before baking, perfect for parties and drinks boards.
