Taralli recipe
Taralli are like savory breadsticks rolled to form a ring, round and crispy, first boiled and then baked. They are a traditional Italian snack, perfect for a quick, hunger-breaking treat.We generally use them as bread substitutes to enjoy with cold cuts and cheeses. They are also great as an appetizer with a good glass of red wine.Taralli have a characteristic circular shape, a golden surface and a crisp and crumbly texture.

Ingredients
- 550 g flour 3 ⅔ cups, 00 flour
- 200 g white wine 1 cup, dry
- 125 g olive oil ½ cup, extra virgin
- 12 g salt 2 teaspoons, fine
Instructions
MAKE THE DOUGH
- In a large bowl place the flour. Then add the salt and extra virgin olive oil. Mix until you get a grainy consistency.
- Add the dry white wine. Stir a little to allow the liquid to be absorbed. Then knead with your hands.
- Transfer the dough to the pastry board. Knead with your hands for about 10 minutes. The dough should be smooth and free of breaks or lumps.
- Shape into a loaf. Finally cover the dough with a tea towel to prevent it from drying out.

THE SHAPE
- Pull off small pieces of dough. Using your fingers, roll each piece on the pastry board and form a roll of dough about 1 cm (about ½ inch) thick and 13 cm (5 inches) long.
- Close the dough roll by joining and overlapping the two ends. Form a ring of dough and set aside. Continue until you run out of dough.
THE COOKING
- Boil some water in a fairly large pot. Dip a few taralli at a time into the boiling water. When they are cooked, the taralli come to the surface.
- As soon as they rise to the surface, remove them with a skimmer. Place them on a tray covered with a tea towel. This will allow the taralli to absorb excess water and cool.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (370°F). Transfer the taralli to a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Bake for about 40 minutes, until they have a nice golden color. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Notes
- PLEASE NOTE: The size of the rings depends on your taste and how you want to use the taralli. Small taralli are perfect on their own as a snack or with an aperitif. To accompany cured meats and cheeses, or as bread substitutes, you may want to make them larger.
