Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups warm water, or as needed
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
7 cups all-purpose flour (such as King Arthur®)
7 fluid ounces Chablis wine
7 ounces olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons fennel seeds, or more to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons salt

Steps:

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a bowl. Combine flour, wine, oil, fennel seeds, and salt in a large stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. Knead on low speed. Add yeast mixture slowly. Continue to mix until a smooth ball is formed and dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove dough from the bowl; knead into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 4 to 5 minutes. Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Cut the dough into 2-inch cross sections; roll into 1/2-inch-diameter "tubes." Cut tubes lengthwise into 1/4-inch cross sections. Roll each from the center out; fold ends over one another. Boil taralli in the hot water in groups of 10 until they rise to the top, about 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon. Continue with remaining taralli. Let dry for 4 hours. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place dried taralli onto baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven, flipping as needed, until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
