Vegan Cantuccini from Vaianino

THE Cantuccini Vegans they are a variation of the classics Tuscan cantuccini, crunchy and excellent if enjoyed in the Holy wine or in coffee. They can be stored for a long time in airtight boxes.  The vegan recipe is without eggs and without butter. They are more crumbly than classic biscuits, but the taste is very good. Definitely worth trying.

Ingredients: 

• 300 gr. of white “0” flour
• 150 gr. of granulated sugar
• 100 gr. of whole almonds with the peel
• “Alpro” almond drink 75 ml

Beat the extra virgin olive oil with the almond drink and the sugar with a whisk, then add the aromas, salt and almonds. At this point add the flour and yeast. Quickly knead the dough and then, using the flour, prepare flattened loaves about 4 cm wide. and 1 cm high. Arrange them on the baking tray, covered with baking paper, place them in a ventilated oven at 170°

After about 20-25 minutes, remove them from the oven, wait at least 15 minutes and then cut them obliquely. Put them back in the oven to toast for another 8 minutes.
