Do you already know Taralli?

Taralli are great snacks from the south of Italy that the Nonnas in Apulia have been baking in their kitchen for generations. The traditional recipes use durum wheat flour, a few drops of white wine, water, salt and plenty of olive oil for the dough. These ingredients create a unique, absolutely delicate taste and an incredibly good crunch. In terms of texture, the curly salt cookies are similar to their straight-curved brothers, the grissini. They are just as crispy and crunchy.

Taralli pugliesi – Recipe

The savory cookies traditionally come in the shape of a ring. If they are slightly smaller in size, they are called tarallini. They are made in a similar way to bagels. After kneading and before baking, the curls are first placed in a pan of hot water. Here they are allowed to swim for a while until they rise to the top. Cooking gives the bread specialty its uniquely interesting texture. By the way: If you bake the crispy kringles yourself at home, you can easily store them in an airtight tin for several months.
