Instructions
Using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, add all of the ingredients to the bowl and mix on low speed until dough comes together.
Increase speed to medium and mix for 4-5 more minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic.
Transfer dough to a large pastry board or cutting board. Divide dough into 10 pieces; cover dough lightly with damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Meanwhile, working with one piece of dough at a time, roll into a snake that is ~¼” wide and _______” long. Pinch off ~4-5” of dough and twist around your fingers to shape into a ring. Pinch the two ends together to seal. Cover rings with a damp towel and continue process until all of the dough has been shaped.
Reduce boiling water to a low boil and drop several pieces of dough into water. The dough will initially sink, but it will then float after 1-2 minutes. Once taralli begin to float, remove them from water with a slotted spoon and place on a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack to drain. Repeat process until all taralli have been boiled.
Let taralli drain for ~45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Line two baked sheets with parchment paper. Place taralli on prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown in color.
Let taralli cool to room temperature before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.
