Ingredients
Units
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup white wine
- 3 1/2 cups flour + a little more for rolling
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350?. Position rack to middle.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the eggs until nice and frothy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add sugar. Continue to whisk until well combined.
- Stir in the oil and wine. Combine well. (I switch to the paddle attachment of mixer at this point).
- Slowly add the flour mixture until well combined, dough will be soft.
- Scoop dough with medium sized cookie scoop and drop on a lightly floured surface.
- Roll into a 6 inch strand about 1/2 inch in diameter.
- Shape into a ring and press lightly to combine both ends.
- Place on parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until golden.
Notes
Optional: These taralli can be glazed with an eggwash, followed by a sprinkling of raw sugar. To make eggwash: whisk 1 egg with 2 tablespoons of milk. Brush on unbaked taralli. Sprinkle with raw sugar. Proceed to bake as directed.
