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.

I love the combination of flavors in these biscuits. The pepper and olive oil complement each other perfectly.

These biscuits are a great way to sneak some extra veggies into your diet. I grated a zucchini into the dough and they turned out delicious.

I'm not sure why, but my biscuits didn't rise very much. They were still tasty, but they were a bit dense.

I'm going to try making these biscuits with different types of pepper. I think they would be great with a spicy pepper like cayenne.

I love the simplicity of this recipe. It's a great way to use up leftover olive oil.

I followed the recipe exactly and my biscuits turned out perfectly. They were light and fluffy, with a nice crispy crust.

These biscuits were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more milk or butter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of pepper, but these biscuits were still really good. The olive oil flavor was very prominent.

These biscuits were a hit! They were so easy to make and had the perfect amount of pepper and olive oil flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.
