Steps
The preparation of Homemade Cheese Taralli – Quick and Easy Recipe is very simple, watch the video HERE.
In a bowl, put flour, yeast, and salt. Add the milk, softened butter, garlic, and grated cheese. Mix and knead until you get a soft and homogeneous dough.
If the dough is too soft, add a little more flour. Transfer the dough onto lightly floured parchment paper. Roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Use a cookie cutter to cut out many taralli. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each one. Bake in a preheated oven at 390°F for 15–20 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Enjoy your meal!
Storage:
The cheese taralli keep perfectly for 5–6 days in an airtight container or tin box.
To keep them crisp longer, avoid humid environments. If they soften, you can restore their crunch by reheating them in the oven at 320°F for 5 minutes.
