Ingredients
Method
In bowl, combine flour, fennel seeds, salt, sugar and hot pepper flakes; stir in wine and oil to form dough. Knead 10 times until smooth. Wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.Divide dough into quarters; divide 1 of the quarters into 12 pieces.
Roll each piece into 5-inch (12 cm) long rope; bring ends together and twist to seal. Place circles, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, on waxed paper–lined baking sheets, covering as completed. Repeat with remaining dough quarters.
In large saucepan, bring 16 cups (4 L) salted water to boil; reduce to simmer. Boil taralli, in batches, stretching each slightly when placing in water, until taralli rise to surface. Simmer for 1 minute. Drain on racks or paper towel.
Bake on parchment paper–lined baking sheets in 375°F (190°C) oven until golden and shiny, and crisp all the way through, about 35 minutes.
