Taralli
Taralli, are Italian biscuit rings, great for snacking anytime of the day. They are made of fresh dough, boiled and then baked. Hard, crunchy and hot with red hot pepper flakes, garlic and fennel. Great for dipping in a glass of wine. Plain taralli can be made for teething babies.
Taralli
2 teaspoons yeast
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
fennel
red hot pepper flakes
garlic cloves, minced
Combine yeast, water and sugar and let rest for 5 minutes. In a mixer add yeast mixture, slowly add flour and salt till combined. Work dough on a floured board for just a minute or two, divide into 24 pieces. Roll into rope shapes and add fennel, pepper flakes and or garlic then make a circle and pinch ends, lay on a floured baking sheet. I make them this way so I can please everyone, some hot and some just with salt. Cover and let rise 15 minutes. Bring a pot of water to boil add 1 or 2 taralli at a time and cook for a few seconds or until they float. Remove and place on a kitchen towel continue boiling the rest. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
