Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 120 milliliters Dry white wine
• 120 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
• 10 grams Salt
• 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds (optional, for flavor)
• 1 liter Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. If using fennel seeds, stir them into the mixture for added flavor.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the white wine and olive oil.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients with a spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms. Then transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and pliable.

Step 4

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover it with a clean dish towel and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Step 5

After resting, divide the dough into small pieces, roughly the size of a walnut. Roll each piece into a thin rope, about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) long. Bring the ends together to form a ring and press the edges firmly to seal.

Step 6

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Once boiling, drop 5-6 taralli at a time into the water. When they float to the surface (after about 1-2 minutes), remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a clean kitchen towel to dry slightly.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Arrange the boiled taralli on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the taralli to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
