Scaldatelli

Scaldatelli, also called scaldatelle or scallatìll' are a traditional agricultural product from the Apulian province of Foggia. Similar to taralli, but bigger in size, they are made with flour, extra virgin olive oil, wine, salt, and fennel seeds. They are sometimes additionally flavored with chilli, black pepper, or black olives. Once shaped, scaldatelli are shortly cooked in the boiling water, and then baked in the oven until their crust turns golden and crispy. They are best enjoyed on their own, as an appetizer or a light snack, but they can also be paired with cheese and cold cuts.
