Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients together with your hands to form the dough. Knead the dough for 5 minutes until well combined then cover in plastic wrap and rest for 10 minutes.
- Take a small handful of the dough and roll into sausages about ½-inch/1.2cm thick. Cut a length of about 2-4 inches / 5-10 cm depending on how big you want to make yours (I used around 4-inch/10cm lengths for mine).
- Form a circle with the dough and press the two ends firmly together. Stretch out the taralli a little to create a large enough hole that won't seal up when cooking. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment.Repeat this process until you've used up all your dough.
- Heat a large pan of water until boiling.
- Drop 5-6 taralli into the simmering water at a time (to avoid sticking) and let them cook for 1-2 minutes until they rise to the surface. Fish them out and let them cool on a clean tea towel. Repeat this with all the taralli. Arrange them without touching to avoid sticking. Let them cool completely for about 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375ºF/190ºC
- Once cooled, arrange the taralli on a baking sheet(s) in one layer without touching. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes until golden brown.Let them cool completely before eating as they'll become crunchier once cooled.
- Serve as you see fit, with a charcuterie board, glass of wine, aperitivo or just on their own as a snack.
Notes
- Store taralli in airtight containers or jars for weeks.
- Experiment with all kinds of flavours. The key is to keep the additions free from as much moisture as possible to avoid the taralli from softening. My favourites are:
- Parmigiano reggiano
- Roughly ground black pepper
- Caramelised onion with raisins
- Chilli flakes
- Chopped fresh rosemary or sage
- Poppy seeds
- Chopped hazelnut
