Instructions
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and knead energetically for a minimum of 5 minutes, up to 10 minutes. The kneading will make the dough more elastic.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and set it aside to rest for about 15 minutes to activate the gluten.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
To make the shape, roll a piece of dough into a long snake about ⅓ inch diameter (8-9 mm) and then chop pieces long about 3 inches (8-9 cm).
Or you can take from the dough pieces of 5 grams each (0.17 oz) and then roll them 3 inches (8-9 cm) long.
Pinch the ends together, pressing well to make them stick. Set them aside on a clean towel.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil. Toss the Taralli in the boiling water one by one so they don't stick to each other.
When they start floating, take them out with a strainer tool and lay them again on the towel.
Dry them lightly, then move them to a lined baking sheet, keeping them at least 1 inch (2-3 cm) away from each other.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until they're golden.
Let them cool on a cooling rack before serving.
Notes
It takes a little bit of patience to make them, so why not ask your partner or your kids to help and turn it into a family activity?
