Biscotti Di Prato 1
1 cup almonds, whole, unblanched
2 cup unbleached flour, unsifted
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 pinch salt
3 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
This recipe makes about 4 dozen very crunchy biscotti. I've never put
chocolate on the biscotti. You need two 12x15 inch (approx.) cookie
sheets. Butter and flour ONE of the cookie sheets. The oven should be at
350 to roast the almonds, and 300 to bake the biscotti. Total baking time
for the biscotti is about 2 hours. You also need to have handy and ready
a surface for kneading the biscotti dough and a surface for cutting the
baked biscotti. Roast the almonds in a 350 degree often until lightly
browned (10-15 minutes). Cool nuts completely. Lower the oven temperature
to 300. In a medium bowl, stir together the dry ingredients (flour,
sugar, baking soda, salt) just to mix. Separate out about 1/2 cup of this
mixture, and spread SOME of the reserved 1/2 cup onto your kneading
surface. In a small bowl or measuring cup, lightly beat together the eggs
and vanilla. Make a well in the flour mixture in the medium bowl and pour
in the egg/vanilla mixture. Stir the flour into the egg mixture from the
outside of the well. Continue combining until the mixture is too stiff to
stir. Turn the mixture out onto your kneading surface, which should
already be floured with some of the reserved dry ingredients. With
floured hands (use some of the reserved dry ingredients for this if you
want), fold the dough over itself until it coheres. Use the rest of the
reserved dry ingredients for your hands and the work surface, if
necessary. Press the nuts into the dough and keep folding the dough over
itself until the nuts are evenly distributed. Let the dough sit a few
minutes so the flour absorbs the liquid completely, making the dough less
sticky. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece with your
hands so that the pieces are elongated into strips about 1" wide and
12"-14" long. *** Place the strips on the buttered/floured baking sheet,
leaving about 4" between each strip. If you want somewhat wider strips,
flatten the strips with your hands to a width of 2". Bake for about 50
minutes at 300. Let the strips cool for 5 minutes, and them remove them
with a spatula to a cutting surface. Using a sharp knife and making
downward strokes, cut the strips into diagonal bars about 1/2" wide. Lay
the cut biscotti on their sides on the two baking sheets. Toast 35-50
minutes, depending on how dark (and crunchy?) you want them. *** To make
much wider strips, divide the dough into two strips, same length
(12"-14"). Each cookie will be about 6" long. This should make about 2
dozen cookies.

Weight loss hints and tips
If you wish to shed a few kilos and also enhance your all round shape, among other things you ought to undertake a specially calculated healthy diet. At best, this ought to incorporate five portions of pulses and vegetables every day and require the right proportion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
When planning a meal plan, it is essential to also attempt to regulate your ingestion of salt, fats and refined carbohydrates.
Dieters most certainly concentrate on department store and big brand foods referred to as 'low in fat'. This is frequently an error, for a food can be lowered in fat content, but whilst still remaining contain far too much carbohydrates and calories.
