Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 milliliters Dry white wine
- 30 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
- 30 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. If using, add fennel seeds or black pepper for additional flavor.
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix the dry white wine, olive oil, and water.
Gradually pour the liquid mixture into the flour while stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into small pieces (about the size of a walnut) and roll each piece into a 5-6 inch (12-15 cm) rope. Form each rope into a ring and pinch the ends together to seal.
Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the taralli rings into the boiling water in small batches and cook until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Remove them with a slotted spoon and place on a clean kitchen towel to dry for a few minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the boiled taralli on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the taralli are golden brown and crisp. Rotate the tray halfway through baking for even cooking.
Allow the taralli to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
