Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
Ingredients
4 cups (1 lb, 500 grams) flour
1 tsp (10 grams) salt
2/3 cup (150 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup (200 ml) dry white wine
optional spices:
1-2 tsp fennel seeds or cracked black pepper
Cooking Directions
1.In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.
2.Add the oil and wine, and mix with a fork until the dough forms into a rough mass.
3.Dump the dough onto a wooden board and knead it for about 5 minutes, until it is smooth.
4.If you want to add any optional spices, knead them into the dough (or divide the dough and add spice to 1/2 of the dough) knead well to distribute the spice.
5.Cover the dough and let it rest, along with your arms, for 15 30 minutes.
6.Pinch walnut-sized pieces of dough, roll first between your hands, and then against the wooden cutting board, so that the dough forms a thin rope, about 1/2 inch (1 cm) in diameter and 4 inch long (10 cm).
7.Shape each rope into a ring, and seal the edges together by pressing lightly, then set aside the taralli rings on a wooden board and cover with a towel.
8.In the meantime, bring a large pot of water to boil.
9.Put 6-10 of the taralli into the boiling water, and when they float to the surface - this will only take 30 to 60 seconds - remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a cloth to dry and cool.
10.Tip Try not to plop one tarallo on top of another when dropping them into the pot, and if they stick to the bottom, give them a gentle nudge with the slotted spoon
11.Put the cooled taralli on baking sheets and bake in a preheated oven at 375F for about 25 minutes, until golden.
12.Remove and cool on racks.
13.Store in a closed container to keep them crisp, they are the a nice accompaniment for the rest of that dry white wine or pile them into a breadbasket at dinner.

Taralli are toroidal Italian snack foods, common all over the southern half of the Italian Peninsula. A cracker similar in texture to a breadstick or a pretzel, taralli can be sweet or savory. Sweet taralli are sometimes glazed with sugar. Savory taralli may be flavored with onion, garlic, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, fennel, pepper, chili or just salt. Sweet and plain taralli are often dunked in wine.
