Savoury Fennel Biscuits

These little baked rounds of biscuit dough are a speciality in the south of Italy, and can be both savoury and sweet. Here I’ve given a recipe for a savoury version, which contains fennel seeds, olive oil and pepper. Rather similar in texture to grissini, the circular biscuits are irresistible with antipasto, but can serve as a snack at any time.
