Instructions

  1. 1 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.
  2. 2 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.
  3. 3 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.
  4. 4 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.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  6. 6 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.

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine flour, pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl, and stir with a spoon to combine. Pour in wine and olive oil. Mix until dough starts to come together. Knead by hand until dough is smooth and slightly elastic, about 3 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. 2 Unwrap dough and cut into 4 pieces. Roll each piece out with your palms into ropes about 10 to 12 inches long. Cut each rope into 3 pieces; roll each piece to a length of 5 or 6 inches. Twist the ends a few times and press them together to form a ring, twisting as needed to fully seal the ends.
  3. 3 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat (such as SILPAT®).
  4. 4 Bring a pan of water (at least 3 inches) to a boil. Drop in 4 rings of dough at a time. Boil until rings float to the top, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a towel-lined plate. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  5. 5 Sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over each ring; flip and grate more cheese on the other side. Flip back to the first side and apply one last grating of cheese, or until rings are thoroughly coated.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden and crunchy, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet onto a wire rack and let cool completely before serving.

  2. 2 Unfold puff pastry into a flat sheet and brush olive oil over top. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.

  4. 4 Cut dough along the seams into thirds with a pizza cutter or sharp knife, then cut each third lengthwise into thirds again for a total of nine strips.
  5. 5 Pick up one strip and place it seasoned-side down onto the work surface. Twist it from both ends eight to nine times to make a rolled tube of dough with the seasoning facing out. Place onto the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining strips.
  6. 6 Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over cheese sticks. Roll sticks lightly to even up their shapes; pick up and press any dropped cheese onto the surfaces.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, then flip and bake until sticks are browned and crisp and hold their shape without drooping when lifted, 10 to 20 more minutes.
