RECIPE:
8 Cups All Purpose Flour
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Anise Seeds
1 tsp Instant Yeast
1 1/2 to 2 Cups Luke Warm Water
Start off by adding the salt, instant yeast and anise seeds to your flour. Mix well. Create a well and add in eggs and olive oil. Slowly add water, half a cup at a time and knead your dough, you may not need the entire 2 cups of water (1 1/2 is usually enough). Knead dough until everything comes together and you get a nice smooth and firm ball of dough. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes. Roll and form dough into thin ropes and make circles out of the ropes (see thumbnail image). In a large pot, fill water and let it come to a light boil. Place Taralli in the boiling water and wait a minute or so before removing or until taralli rise to the top. Remove from water and repeat with the others. Place taralli onto a baking sheet and bake at 375 - 380 for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy

Please Note: There was an error in the video and didn't catch it until it was to late. We added a total of 1 1/2 Cups of water to our dough (and not 1/2 as indicated in the video). Sorry, we apologize for this mix-up.

I harken back to the days when Mamma (always used Fennell seeds) would make me and my fratelli Zuppa, Orzo with Taralli....remember Orzo Bimbo...The Barley drink, "the Coffee for Kids"..... We didn't get Orzo all the time and there was Zuppa's made with coffee for sure. I liked this better than any boxed cereal..... Happy Thanksgiving ....Thanks for sharing this recipe and the memories.

What I love about old traditional recipes are the memories that come with them. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, and thanks so much for watching.

Where did you find the black anise seed ?

[@simplydelishduo4020]

Josephine, great question. My mom brought them back when she last visited Italy. Black anise seeds are hard to find in our grocery stores but can be ordered through Amazon. Also, if you can't find black, most grocery stores sell green anise seeds (not as potent but still really good).

I don't use eggs, come out perfect

[@simplydelishduo4020]

Thank you for the tip. We will have to give that a try.

I dont use eggs, taste hood

[@simplydelishduo4020]

Sorry, not sure what taste hood means? We've never tried making taralli without eggs, but will try to see what the difference is. Thanks
