Rosmary Taralli from Puglia

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg flour 8 cups
  • 400 ml white wine
  • 270 ml olive oil
  • 17 grams salt 1 tbsp
  • 17 grams rosmery 1 tbsp

Instructions
 

  • Put the flour in a bowl and add half of the white wine, salt, oil, and rosemary. Mix it together.
  • Add the second half of the wine and keep mixing until it becomes a dough.
  • Knead the dough for 5 minutes.
  • Rub olive oil on your hands and grab a 2-inch piece of dough.
  • Form it into the shape of a tube 5 inches long and a little more than a ½ inch wide.
  • Close the tube to create the shape of a ring.
  • Boil a big pot of water, and sprinkle a small pinch of salt into it.
  • When the water boils, add 10 taralli to the pot. At first they will sink, but after a few minutes they will float.
  • Grab them with a big spoon and put them on a cotton kitchen towel.
  • Do the same for te rest of the taralli until you have boiled all of them.
  • Let them dry for at least 5 hrs or overnight.
  • Grab the taralli from the kitchen towel very slowly so they don’t stick to the towel.
  • Preheat your oven to 360 F
  • Put parchment paper on a baking sheet and add all the taralli to it. They can be close to each other because they don't grow when baked.
  • Bake the taralli for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes of baking, turn off the oven but leave the taralli inside to keep warm for another 10 minutes.
  • Enjoy. You can store taralli for a little over a week inside an airtight container.
