Instructions

Prepare the Dough: Begin by placing the flour in a large mixing bowl. Add the fine salt and the ground ginger, followed by the ground turmeric. Pour in the dry white wine and extra virgin olive oil. Mix everything together until the ingredients start to come together into a dough.
-
Knead and Shape: Transfer the dough to a flat, lightly floured surface and knead it quickly until smooth. Once kneaded, divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a small cylinder, using your fingers to shape them.
-
Form the Taralli: Next, join the ends of each cylinder to form a small ring, pinching them gently to seal. Shape each ring into a slight drop shape, as this is traditional for taralli.
-
Boil the Taralli: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once the water is at a rolling boil, drop a few taralli at a time into the water. Let them cook for about 1-2 minutes until they rise to the surface, signaling they are cooked.
-
Bake the Taralli: While the taralli are boiling, preheat your oven to 200ยฐC (392ยฐF) on static mode. Once the taralli have been boiled, transfer them to a baking tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are well spaced apart.
-
Bake Until Golden: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the taralli are lightly golden and crisp.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Allow the ginger and turmeric taralli to cool slightly before serving. These crunchy, flavorful bites make the perfect appetizer to enjoy with friends and family!
