Cheese and rosemary biscotti: Ingredients for 6 – 10, depending on the size you make them

120 gram Tipo 00 flour
80 gram salted butter
80 gram Parmesan cheese
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoon rosemary leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Knead the cold butter quickly into cubes, with all the other ingredients.
Roll the dough onto a sheet of baking paper to form a cylinder of 3 – 4 cm in diameter.
Allow the dough to cool in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Cut the cylinder into discs of about 1 cm thick, arrange them on the baking sheet. Prick each one lightly with a fork and bake at 180° C for about 15 minutes.
If you prefer you can, after the rest time, roll out the dough and cut with cookie cutters. However, prefer to give our savory biscotti a “rustic” look.
Let cool and serve garnished with sprigs of rosemary
