Taralli making class at a masseria in Caprarica di Lecce
Three doughs, two savoury and one sweet, from the worktable to the oven to your plate.
What you do
Chances are you have already eaten a bag of taralli in Puglia. Making them is a different story, and this class takes you from raw dough to the oven.
You make three kinds: savoury with white wine and wild fennel, savoury with white wine pizzaiola style, and sweet with red wine and sugar. Each has its own dough and shape, and the fun part is watching them change as they bake. Kit and apron are provided.
Once they are out of the oven, you taste them. The basic class lasts two hours. Add the seated tasting and it becomes three, with a board of cured meats and cheeses, fruit, water and a glass of wine alongside your taralli.
By bike
A two-hour class fits neatly into a morning ride. Collect your bike for free in Lecce, San Foca or Calimera, follow your self-guided route with GPX and roadbook, and roll into Caprarica di Lecce ready to get your hands floury.
The bike stays locked with the lock in your kit. If you go for the version with the board and the glass of wine, make the class your final stop. Not in the mood to ride that day? You can still come, no bike needed.
