Yield Makes 26

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup sesame seeds, plus more for sprinkling
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly ground white pepper
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat oil and sugar on medium speed, about 2 minutes. In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in the lemon juice; add to oil mixture along with wine, sesame seeds, zest, fennel seeds, salt, and white pepper. Beat until combined. Add flour, and beat until just combined.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a small bowl, beat egg with 2 teaspoons water; set aside. Form biscuits by rolling tablespoons of dough into 5-inch logs and joining the ends to make circles. Brush tops with egg wash; sprinkle with sesame seeds and fennel. Arrange on prepared baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Bake biscuits until lightly browned, about 20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Yield Makes 100 biscuits (as part of antipasti)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups "00" flour
1/3 cup semolina (sometimes called semolina flour)
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt, divided
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups water

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, semolina, sugar, pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, then stir in wine and oil. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead with lightly floured hands until smooth and elastic, about 2 minutes.
  • Put dough in a lightly oiled large bowl and cover bowl with oiled plastic wrap. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Bring 4 cups water to a boil with remaining teaspoon sea salt in a medium pot.
  • Meanwhile, halve dough, then cut each half into 10 pieces. Keeping remaining dough covered, roll 1 piece of dough into a 20-inch-long rope on an unfloured surface. Cut rope into 5 pieces, then roll each piece into a 4-inch-long rope, connecting ends of each to form a ring. Transfer to a lightly floured kitchen towel (not terry cloth). Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Oil 2 large baking sheets.
  • Boil rings in 4 batches just until they float, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer with a slotted spoon to oiled baking sheets, arranging rings 1/2 inch apart.
  • Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to racks to cool completely.

Tips for Making Olive Oil Biscuits:

  • Use high-quality olive oil: The quality of your olive oil will greatly affect the taste of your biscuits. Choose a flavorful, extra virgin olive oil that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make your biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the biscuits rise higher and give them a more flaky texture.
  • Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: Baking the biscuits at a high temperature will help them rise quickly and evenly.
  • Brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking: This will give them a golden brown color and a crispy crust.
