Cacio e Pepe Taralli (Savory Italian Pretzels)
Often served with (and dipped in!) white wine, taralli are a fun and versatile Italian snack you can flavor all sorts of ways. This pepper and cheese variety starts with a simple unleavened dough starring white wine and olive oil. Rolled into ropes, then into rings, they're boiled and sprinkled with cheese before baking. Once baked, the cheese forms a crispy wafer in the middle of the ring!
Spelt Pancakes
Spelt flour is perfect for pancakes. These fluffy pancakes use 100% spelt flour for a whole grain pancake that makes great breakfast or brunch fare.
Peach Crumble Cake
This peach crumble cake is a go-to recipe for me. It's very quick and easy to make, and most people have the ingredients in their pantries already. The more brown sugar you use on top, the more "crumble" you will have. It's great for summer cookouts served with ice cream.
