Puglia, a region in southern Italy, is known for its culinary delights that reflect the simplicity and flavors of the Mediterranean. One popular Puglian snack is taralli, small, donut-shaped crackers that are traditionally made with white wine. These crispy and savory treats are perfect for enjoying with a glass of wine or as a snack on their own. In this article, we will explore the process of making Puglian taralli using white wine.

To make Puglian taralli, you will need the following ingredients:
– 500 grams of all-purpose flour
– 120 milliliters of white wine
– 120 milliliters of extra virgin olive oil
– 2 teaspoons of salt
– 1 teaspoon of black pepper
– 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds (optional)

Begin by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and fennel seeds (if using). Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Next, add the white wine and extra virgin olive oil to the dry ingredients. With clean hands or a wooden spoon, mix everything together until a dough starts to form. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more white wine or olive oil, a tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into smaller portions to make it more manageable. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1.5 centimeters thick.

To shape the taralli, cut the dough ropes into small pieces, about 6-8 centimeters long. Take each piece and join the ends together to form a small, donut-shaped ring. Press the ends firmly so that they stick together. Repeat this process until all the dough has been shaped into taralli.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a tablespoon of salt. Working in batches, drop the taralli into the boiling water and cook them for about 2 minutes or until they float to the top. This step helps to give the taralli a chewy texture.

Using a slotted spoon, gently remove the cooked taralli from the boiling water and transfer them to a clean kitchen towel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow them to dry for a few minutes.

Once the taralli have dried slightly, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Take care not to overbake them as they may become too hard.

Once the taralli are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely. They will continue to harden as they cool down.

Puglian taralli with white wine are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as an appetizer alongside a glass of white wine or enjoy them as a snack any time of the day. These crispy and flavorful treats are sure to be a hit with family and friends.

In conclusion, making Puglian taralli with white wine is a delightful culinary adventure that brings the flavors of Puglia to your kitchen. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these addictive and delicious snacks. So why not give it a try and elevate your snacking experience with homemade Puglian taralli?
