Ingredients

• 200 grams Almond flour
• 30 grams Coconut flour
• 40 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 5 grams Psyllium husk powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 60 milliliters Olive oil
• 100 milliliters White wine (dry)
• 1 piece Egg (large)
• 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, grated Parmesan cheese, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine all dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine, and egg until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spoon or using your hands until a dough forms.

Step 5

Knead the dough gently for 1-2 minutes to ensure everything is well incorporated. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.

Step 6

Add the fennel seeds to the dough and knead briefly to evenly distribute them.

Step 7

Take small pieces of dough (about 15 grams each) and roll them into thin ropes, approximately 10-12 cm long.

Step 8

Shape each rope into a ring by joining the ends and pressing them together gently.

Step 9

Place the shaped taralli onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the taralli are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 11

Turn off the oven and leave the taralli inside for an additional 5 minutes to crisp up.

Step 12

Remove the taralli from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to harden as they cool.

Step 13

Once fully cooled, store the taralli in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.
