Tarallini Con I Finocchietti, or little fennel rings, is a traditional Italian snack originating from Puglia, Italy. They are small, bagel-like rings made with flour, yeast, salt, olive oil, and fennel seeds. They are boiled and then baked until golden brown for a crispy texture that is perfect for snacking. These rings are often enjoyed with an aperitif or during social gatherings.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix together the yeast, salt, and olive oil.
2.	Add in the flour, fennel seed, and enough water to form a dough, and knead until smooth.
3.	Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, then roll into thin logs and cut into small pieces.
4.	Shape each piece into a ring and let them rest for another 10 minutes.
5.	Boil a pot of water and gently add the dough rings in batches. When they float to the surface, remove with a slotted spoon and allow to dry on a wire rack.
6.	Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the rings until golden brown.
7.	Serve and enjoy!
