PRESENTATION

Turmeric ginger taralli are a fun twist on classic southern Italian snack recipes. And you know what? These little rings are super popular in Puglia. It's a place famous for a chill vibe and food that's all about sharing. Traditionally, they use stuff like flour, olive oil, and white wine. But this time, we’re adding bright turmeric and zippy ginger. Really makes them pop!

That turmeric gives these homemade taralli a golden glow—seriously stands out on any table. And the ginger? Adds a pungent kick you won’t find in the regular ones. They are often the star at gatherings in southern Italy, served before dinner as part of an aperitivo spread. Light, crunchy, and just salty enough. You’ll keep reaching for more.

It's really easy to get creative with this Apulian taralli recipe—folks sometimes toss in fennel seeds or black pepper. But the turmeric and ginger combo is where it’s at. For a chill party, a batch of turmeric ginger taralli goes fast. People love how crispy they are. Bringing them to a friend’s house or wrapping them up as a gift? Works great. Plus, they hold up well and taste way, way better after a day or two.

That ring shape? Just the right size to grab and snack on, and the tender crumb inside keeps it interesting—like a little surprise. While these snacks definitely nod to the traditional Italian biscuits from Puglia, the bold color and flavor make them feel fresh and fun.

Folks into the Mediterranean diet or curious about savory Italian treats will find something new here, no question. But it’s not just sticking to the old way; it's about mixing things up. Having a good time with food. Serve these at your next gathering, toss a few in your bread basket for a tangy surprise—either way, you’re set for a snack that’s both classic and a bit different. Try them once, and they might just become your new go-to for a tasty, unique snack! Pretty much.

How to prepare Ginger and Turmeric Taralli

To make ginger and turmeric taralli, start by preparing the dough: put the flour in a bowl and add the salt 1, ginger 2, and turmeric 3;

then pour in the white wine 4 and the extra virgin olive oil 5 and mix with your hands to combine all the ingredients well 6.

Transfer the mixture to a work surface and knead quickly 7 until you get a smooth and uniform dough, then wrap it in plastic wrap 8 and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. After the resting time, take the dough and divide it into rather small pieces 9;

roll the pieces of dough with your fingers 10 until you get sticks about 0.4 inches thick and about 3 inches long 11. Join and overlap the ends of each stick to form a drop shape 12

and place the formed taralli on a lightly floured cloth 13. Now bring a pot of water to a boil and cook a few taralli at a time 14; when they float to the surface, drain them with a slotted spoon and place them gently on an absorbent cloth 15.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 392°F in static mode. At this point, transfer the boiled taralli to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, well spaced apart 16, and bake them in the preheated oven at 392°F for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are lightly golden 17. Your ginger and turmeric taralli are ready to be crunched 18!

Storage

Ginger and turmeric taralli can be stored in a tin box for a week. It's possible to freeze the dough or the tarallini already formed before boiling.

Tip

If you like spices, don't skimp on the doses: you can slightly increase the amount of ginger to enhance its spiciness and maybe even add a pinch of chili pepper if you're feeling bold!
