Are you ready to dive into the world of traditional Italian cuisine? Look no further than boiled taralli. These delicious, ring-shaped snacks are a staple in Italy, particularly in the southern region. But don’t worry, making these delectable treats at home is easier than you might think! In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of making boiled taralli from scratch.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seeds (optional)

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and fennel seeds (if using). Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2: Add the Water and Olive Oil

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and slowly pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil. Use a fork to gradually incorporate the wet and dry ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3: Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface. Begin kneading the dough by pressing it with the palms of your hands and folding it over. Continue kneading for about 8-10 minutes or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4: Rest the Dough

Shape the dough into a ball and place it back into the mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for about 30 minutes. This will allow the gluten to relax and make the dough easier to work with.

Step 5: Shape the Taralli

After the resting period, divide the dough into small portions, approximately the size of a walnut. Roll each piece of dough into a long rope, about 6 inches in length. Join the ends of the rope together to create a ring shape. Repeat this process with the remaining dough portions.

Step 6: Boil the Taralli

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Gently add the taralli rings to the boiling water, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Boil the taralli for about 3-5 minutes or until they float to the surface. This boiling step gives the taralli their distinctive texture.

Step 7: Bake the Taralli

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the boiled taralli from the pot using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the taralli in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

Step 8: Enjoy!

Allow the baked taralli to cool completely before indulging in their crispy goodness. They make a fantastic snack on their own or pair perfectly with a variety of dips and spreads.

Now that you have this easy step-by-step guide, it’s time to bring a taste of Italy into your own kitchen. Go ahead and impress your family and friends with your homemade boiled taralli. Buon appetito!
