I'm liking this recipe- pretty easy! I have made plain salted, plain
rolled in finely grated Grana (hot out of the oven), and I now have
rosemary in the oven. I'm now thinking on how to incorporate peanut
butter. I guess I will trying to make them like a baguette and put on
a thin smear before rolling them up...I've only tasted the salted
ones, and they are good, altho might be a bit bigger than what I want.
I made the rosemary ones half the size, so I'll see shortly.

Rosemary sounds really good, party material. Do you also sprinkle it
with salt?
