Treat your ingredients with care...
- Whole wheat flour — Whole wheat flour adds a nutty flavor to the Scaldatelli. If you prefer a lighter texture, you can replace half of the whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour.
- White wine — Choose a dry white wine for this recipe. If you prefer not to use alcohol, you can substitute it with an equal amount of vegetable broth or water.
Tips & Tricks
- For a more pronounced garlic flavor, you can add an extra clove of minced garlic to the dough.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor of your Scaldatelli. Thyme, oregano, or even chili flakes can add a unique twist.
- Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.

Serve the Scaldatelli as a snack on their own or pair them with your favorite dips, such as hummus or tomato salsa. They also make a great accompaniment to cheese and cured meat platters.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Scaldatelli on a rustic wooden board or a decorative plate. Sprinkle some fresh rosemary leaves on top for an added touch of elegance.
