Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
multicolored sprinkles (if desired)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Adjust the racks to the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula to combine into a shaggy dough. Turn the mixture onto a lightly flour surface and knead 3 or 4 times to bring together into a smooth dough. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 5 inch rope. Form each rope into a circle and place 6 cookies on each of the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are puffed and deep golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Cool on the trays for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, water, lemon juice and lemon zest until smooth. Spoon the glaze over the cooled cookies, and add sprinkles if desired. Allow the glaze to harden, and serve.

Time 2h35m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
¾ cup olive oil
¾ cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Combine flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, oil, and wine in a stand mixer. Mix ingredients using the paddle attachment until a ball forms. Switch to the dough hook and knead dough for 10 minutes.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat and add the remaining salt. Spread a large, clean cloth out on a counter or table.
  • Pinch off a walnut-sized piece of dough once kneading has finished. Roll dough piece into a snake about 2 1/2 inches long. Form a tear drop shape, lightly pressing the two ends together to seal them into a ring. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Turn down the boiling water to a low boil. Drop taralli into the water a few at a time. Do not stir; they will sink at first, then begin to float. Remove floating taralli with a slotted spoon. Place them on the clean cloth and continue until all the taralli have boiled and are drained on the cloth. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until taralli are golden and firm on the outside, but still soft on the inside, about 40 minutes. Cool completely and rest for at least 1 hour before serving. Wrap with a clean cloth or place in a paper bag; store at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the flour and butter, to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and firm before using it, as this will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Don't overwork the dough, as this can make the Taralli tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands and make it easier to work with.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the Taralli into even strips. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Bake the Taralli until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they have a delicious flavor and texture.
  • Allow the Taralli to cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from becoming soft.
