Anyone who tasted Apulian tarallini has liked them. They are both something to nibble on before lunch, as bread during dinner, or as snacks during an aperitif.
These small fragrant finger – food bites are one of the most widely consumed and known foods from the Puglia Region (Southern of Italy). The plain Tarallini are made with simple ingredients present in all the larders in Apulian houses: flour, white wine, Evo oil, and salt. If you like different tastes, flavor them with fennel seeds or chili pepper flakes, turmeric or other spices.

- Return the dough to a working surface. Cut a small piece of dough at the time and roll it out to a rope about ½-cm thick. Cut it into 6-8 cm long pieces. Join the ends of each piece to shape a circle and press them together to seal. Place the Tarallini into a lined with parchment tray. Repeat with the remaining dough.
