Of course as soon as I saw them I thought of you. By the way they sell them for $12.00 per kilogram, so when and if you retire you could make a killing.<BR/>Orianadoughadearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107772878761525846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-50469687055889152252008-07-15T20:50:00.000-05:002008-07-15T20:50:00.000-05:00I use water and do not care for the wine taste.

I'd use olive oil the next time, and I'm sure a few grinds of pepper would be a good addition.

I...Sue,<BR/>These would be great fun to make with kids! I'm pretty sure the wine isn't an essential ingredient--I certainly couldn't detect any winy flavor in the finished product. Maybe the alcohol does something, but I doubt it. I also wondered why the recipe doesn't call for olive oil instead of vegetable oil in the dough itself.<BR/><BR/>Laura Lee,<BR/>Thanks! Maybe I should write a book called Everything You Need to Know You Learn in First Grade.<BR/><BR/>Doughadear,<BR/>It is a lot like the bagel-making technique, but they don't much resemble bagels. I've never seen these for sale in a deli or bakery, but I'll bet they'd be popular. I'll have to think about becoming a taralli maker when/if I retire.<BR/><BR/>Pinknest,<BR/>Well, they keep very well, so you just need to plan a little weekend trip to Minneapolis. I can find you better food than the food you had at Taste of Chicago.<BR/><BR/>Jude,<BR/>Yes, they're very fun to eat--with fruit, with cheese, or just plain.<BR/><BR/>Meli,<BR/>I guess I must like hoopy baked goods too, seeing as how I like bagels and simit. (Good memory you have!) I've often considered doughnuts, but deep fat fryers kind of scare me. I've seen recipes for baked doughnuts, but I think a doughnut wouldn't taste right without that crispy, fresh from the fryer, goodness.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-46895809249342972632008-07-15T01:15:00.000-05:002008-07-15T01:15:00.000-05:00Those look like fun!
