Ingredients for 4 people
16 cups durum wheat flour
water as needed
salt to taste
2 (1/4 ounce) packages dry yeast
10 eggs
extra virgin olive oil as needed
1 cup sugar or 7/8 cup honey
Preparation 30 minutes preparation + 20 minutes cooking

Prepare a normal bread dough by kneading together flour, water, yeast and salt.

After it has risen for at least one hour, add eggs, enough oil to keep the dough soft, sugar or honey. Knead well and form the “taralli” by rolling dough on a floured surface into ropes about as thick as a pencil and fastening the ends to form a little ring (about 2 inches in diameter).

Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with greased parchment paper and allow to rise in a warm place for 3 hours. There are two ways to cook them: bake on a greased baking sheet in a 350° F oven for 20 minutes, or first drop them into boiling water until they float to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon, dry on a towel and then bake on a greased baking sheet in a 350° F oven for 15 minutes.

Wine pairing
A few, simple ingredients create an intriguing dessert. We recommend a white sweet passito wine that is golden yellow in color with straw-yellow highlights with hints of maple honey, dried fruit such as figs, mellow and fresh with good savoriness.
