Taralli Baresi image

Taralli Baresi is a biscotti that was introduced many centuries ago in the Puglia Region of Italy. Taralli Baresi are sometimes referred to as Italian Pretzels by non-Italians because of their crunchy texture and shape. It is a cross between a pretzel, a cookie and a biscuit. Dense Italian bagels, these seasoned little breads should be boiled briefly before baking. A great hard biscuit with a twinge of hotness! 55 minutes 40 mins prep
