Ingredients

  • 550 g all purpose flour or 00 flour, approx 4 ½ cups
  • 200 ml white wine, approx ⅔ cup
  • 120 ml extra-virgin olive oil, approx ½ cup
  • ½ tablespoon sea salt

Instructions

  • In a large bowl combine the flour and salt. Slowly incorporate the white wine, followed by the olive oil. If the dough is too dry, add water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
  • Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Shape it into a ball, transfer it back to the bowl, cover it with cling film and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the dough into small even pieces, about ½ ounce (15 g)each. Roll each piece into a snake about 2-inch (5 cm) long. Join the ends of each piece together to form a small circle or ring. Press the ends together firmly to seal them. Repeat this process with the remaining dough.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop a few taralli into the boiling water at a time. Cook them for about 1-2 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a clean kitchen towel to drain excess water. Repeat the process until you have boiled all the taralli.
  • Transfer the boiled tarallini to the prepared baking sheet. Bake the taralli in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
  • Remove the taralli from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack, then serve. Store leftover taralli in an airtight container, they will keep well for a week.
