Circumtore Hoop

Circumtore Hoops were a type of hoop-shaped, vegetarian dessert made from brown sweet fried dough with a green topping and a brown garnish. The dish was created by the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs, who modified the sweet fried dough balls served by the people of the Hutt Space planet Circumtore so that the dish's shape resembled the ring shape of the planet. This change in shape resulted in increased surface area for frying, pleasantly surprising Tuggs.^[1]

After a culinary tour of the galaxy that included a poriton in Hutt Space booked by members of the Hutt species,^[1] between 34 ABY and 35 ABY,^[2] Tuggs included a recipe for the hoops in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which was published^[1] in 35 ABY.^[2] In the book, Tuggs suggested that the rings could be eaten in the morning with a cup of caf instead of as dessert, and even recommended starting and ending each day with one.^[1]

Behind the scenes

Circumtore Hoops were created as a recipe for the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. The out-of-universe recipe for the doughnuts makes use of fresh cake flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, buttermilk, a large egg, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. The dish's glaze is made using confectioner's sugar, more unsalted butter, whole milk, pandan extract, vanilla, and freeze dried strawberries.^[1]
