Ciambelline Al Vino Bianco
- 180 grams White Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 200 milliliters White Wine
- 125 milliliters Olive Oil Or Vegetable Oil
- 1 teaspoon Anise Seeds (optional)
- 500 grams Flour
- 1 Tablespoon White Sugar (for The Topping, Before You Bake Them)
- 1. Preheat oven to 180u0b0C (350u0b0F).
- 2. Into a large bowl, pour the sugar, baking powder, white wine, olive oil (and the anise seeds if you're using them).
- 3. Mix lightly and start adding the flour a little at a time, working it with a wooden spoon. You'll have to add flour until you obtain a workable, pliable dough. You want a consistency similar to pizza dough.
- 4. Transfer the dough onto a work surface and knead for a few minutes so it becomes smooth and soft.
- 5. Divide the dough into golf ball sized pieces and form them into thick cords approximately 10 cm long and at least 1 cm wide.
- 6. Unite the two ends forming a small donut (bun).
- 7. Sprinkle each one with granulated sugar and place them about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
- 8. Cook for about 15 minutes in the preheated oven, checking often so as not to over bake them. The color has to be a light golden brown. Remove from oven.
- 9. Allow to cool before devouring them.
- Notes:
- 1. Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy for a week.
- 2. If you don't have anise seeds and you want to obtain the same flavour, you can use a shot glass of sambuca (anisette) liquor.
