Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 milliliters White wine
- 120 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
- 10 grams Salt
- 5 grams Fennel seeds (optional for flavor)
- 200 milliliters Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. If using, mix in the fennel seeds for added flavor.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the white wine and olive oil.
Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes to relax the gluten.
Divide the dough into small walnut-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 10 cm (4 inches) long, then shape the rope into a ring, pinching the ends together to seal.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and drop in 4-5 taralli at a time. Once they float to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a clean towel to dry slightly.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the boiled taralli on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the taralli are golden brown and crisp.
Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
