I was intrigued by one comment on my biscotti recipe. What about using whole grain flour instead of all-purpose flour? Well, since I am not a professional chef, the only way I can do is to experiment… and the experiment was successful indeed! So here you are the whole wheat biscotti with pecans.
Whole wheat biscotti with pecans
I followed exactly the same steps of my biscotti recipe, but I halved the quantities. After I had mixed all ingredients, the dough was still too sticky. So I added whole wheat flour one tablespoon at the time until the dough was smooth enough. At the end, I added 5 tablespoons more flour! So, for the quantities in the original recipe, about 75 g (10 tablespoons) more whole wheat flour are needed. It was so much fun! So please share your experience after you try my recipes. I am willing to do other experiments for you!
Cocoa biscotti with pistachios
I also baked the cocoa biscotti with pistachios I highly recommended in the original recipe!
Spring is just right there!
Here are some tulips… I thought spring would not come to Finland. However, it is just around the corner!
Happy spring everyone!

I consistently blown away by the caliber of not only your recipes, but your blog as well. You have done such a beautiful job with the layout!
This biscotti looks as delicious as the last! Question: (and feel free to tell me that is just too much work.) Are you able to supply nutrition facts with any of your recipes? While I am fond of splurging on the weekend, I am ALWAYS on the hunt for nutritious treats to tide me over until Friday rolls around.
Blessings!

Hello Cara!
I am so grateful to you for your nice comment. Actually I would not want to count calories for my cooking(in fact, I do not know how to calculate them:-)) however, it would be great to know about it. So then I would be able to give nutrition facts infomation to somebody who needs like you!
Here are some information for recipe calculators that I found online. It does not mean they are the best among tons of resoruces out there.
1.http://recipenutrition.com/
2.http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp
3.http://www.fitday.com/
4.http://nutritiondata.self.com/
I assume that you already knew all infomation above though.
I wish I could give you that info you wanted to hear but these are my best! sorry for that!!
LOL! I completely understand. Sometimes NOT knowing is better . . . When they began putting the nutrition facts on menus in restaurants, I was like “WHY?!? That’s the last thing I want to know when I’m about to pork out on a big meal!”
These are great sites, thank you
You’re very welcome! anytime!;-)
Thanks for the flowers. I hae the purple gigli flowering in my garden now. This is the typical Florentine iris flower – but no tulips.
I invite you to have a look at our new collection: http://www.pierotucci.com/clothing/new_collection/
You are very welcome! It’s my pleasure indeed. I googled what the gigli flower is.. now I know how it looks like.. I can imagine how beautiful the perple gigli flowers are in your garden! You gave me so many info related Italy and Italian leather products as well! Thank you so much!
