LE CIAMBELLE


print

4 - 5 cups all-purpose flour (0.9kg - 1.1kg)
1 cup sugar (228g)
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup white wine (235ml)
2 tablespoons aniseeds (28g)

To start your Le Ciambelle:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place flour on a worktable. Make a well in the centre of the flour and add sugar, extra virgin olive oil and wine. Combine together and knead until the mixture becomes an even dough. If necessary, add a little more flour to absorb all the liquids. Sprinkle a tablespoon of aniseeds on the dough and knead well. Sprinkle the rest of the aniseeds, and continue to knead so that the seeds are evenly distributed. Cut off a small amount of dough and roll into a ½ inch thick log. Cut the log into a 5 inch long piece. Then form a 'doughnut-like' shape by pinching opposite ends together. Repeat the above process until all the dough is used up.

Line a baking tray with cooking parchment paper and arrange the ciambelle, approximately 2 inches apart. Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Yield: 4 servings
