Taralli is a popular Italian snack with a crunchy texture similar to a cracker or bread stick. This easy homemade plain taralli recipe is made without wine and has just five ingredients, flour, water, salt, olive oil and yeast.

Taralli’s are simple to make and require very little effort. Once you knead the dough you portion it into small 20 gram pieces and roll out the dough into long strands connecting the ends. The taralli dough is then added to a salt water bath then baked at 200 degrees Celsius for about 16-18 minutes. What I love most about these Italian crunchy snacks is that they can be made in so many variations from plain to savory or sweet.
