Pinch the ends together to seal. Place eight on each pan.", "Bake the taralli about 30 to 40 minutes, or until well puffed and a deep golden. Cool on racks.", "For the icing, combine all ingredients in a saucepan and heat gently until lukewarm. Brush over the tops of the cooled cookies.

Let the processor run continuously for about 10 seconds to knead the dough.", "Invert the dough to an oiled bowl and carefully remove the blade. Turn the dough over so that the top is oiled and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise at room temperature until in doubles in bulk, about an hour.", "After the dough has risen, scrape it out of the bowl to a lightly floured work surface and use a bench scraper or knife to cut it into two equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough under the palms of your hand to a 15"" length and cut each into 1"" pieces to make 30 equal pieces in all", "One at a time, roll each piece of dough under the palms of your hands to make an 8"" strand.

Bring the water to a full rolling boil. Set one of the cooling racks on the stovetop (put a pan under it to catch drips) next to the pan of boiling water. Drop the taralli, 6 or 8 at a time into the boiling water and remove them with a skimmer as soon as they float to the surface. Arrange them about an inch apart in all directions, on the prepared racks.", "Bake the taralli about 30 minutes, rotating from the upper third of the oven to the lower third, and vice versa, midway through the baking. Continue baking the taralli until they are golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature on the cooling racks in which they were baked."]
