Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 120 milliliters Olive oil
- 120 milliliters Dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Water (if needed)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cracked black pepper, and salt until evenly combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the olive oil and white wine.
Mix the ingredients together with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough starts to form. If the dough feels too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water, a little at a time, until the dough comes together into a smooth and pliable ball.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 3-4 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into small walnut-sized pieces (about 10 grams each). Roll each piece into a rope about 5 inches (12 cm) long.
Form each rope into a ring by overlapping the ends slightly and pressing them together to seal.
Place the shaped rings onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the taralli are golden brown and crisp. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Remove the taralli from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
