Twice Baked

We watched "Under the Tuscan Sun", a feel good film (they portray digitally enhanced sunflowers in Siena to drive the point home) proving that a gorgeous lady can find happiness to complete her life if only she finds a man who would so bless her. I made biscotti as finding the perfect biscotti is perhaps only nearly as challenging as finding the perfect Buddha though R makes some killer biscotti herself but she won't be in until after dessert. This is how to do it:

• Preheat the oven to 375 while greasing cookie sheets with lemon infused oil
• Beat 3 brown eggs, 0.5C safflower oil, 1C unbleached sugar and 1 tbs Campari until blended. I tossed some almond slivers in as well
  
• Add 3.25C all purpose flour and 1 tbs baking powder into the egg mixture to form a heavy dough and divide into two balls. Form each into a roll as long as the cookie sheet.
  
• Place the roll onto the cookie sheet and press down to 0.5" thickness. Bake for 30 minutes (until golden brown)
• When cool enough, slice each crosswise into 1/2" slices. Place slices cut side up back onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 10 more minutes until lightly toasted sometime between the third and fourth courses to get the timing right.
  

Serve warmed to room temperature (not piping hot) with chilled vin santo for dipping. Italian vin santo is, I feel, a better accompaniment than the Greek correlate. Enjoy.
