Ingredients
1 cup dried apricots, sliced
1 cup water
3 1/2 tsp Equal for Recipes
= (or 12 packets Equal sweetener
or 1/2 cup Equal Spoonful)
1/8 tsp ground mace
1 loaf frozen Italian bread dough - (, thawed
1/3 cup sliced or slivered almonds
Skim milk, for brushing
1 tsp Equal for Recipes
= (or 3 packets Equal sweetener
or 2 tbspns Equal Spoonful)
Directions
Heat apricots, water, 3 1/2 teaspoons Equal for Recipes or 12 packets Equal
sweetener or 1/2 cup Equal Spoonful and mace to boiling in small saucepan;
reduce heat and simmer, covered, until apricots are tender and water is
absorbed, about 10 minutes. Simmer, uncovered, until no water remains, 2
to 3 minutes. Cool.
Roll dough on floured surface into 14- by 8-inch rectangle. Spread apricot
mixture on dough to within 1 inch of edges; sprinkle with 1/4 cup almonds.
Roll dough up jelly-roll style, beginning with long edge; pinch edge of
dough to seal. Place dough seam-side down on greased cookie sheet, forming
circle; pinch ends to seal.
Using scissors, cut dough from outside edge almost to center, making cuts 1
inch apart. Turn each section cut-side up so filling shows. Let rise,
covered, in warm place until dough is double in size, about 1 hour.
Brush top of dough lightly with milk, sprinkle with remaining almonds and 1
teaspoon Equal for Recipes or 3 packets Equal sweetener or 2 tablespoons
Equal Spoonful. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven until golden, 25 to 30
minutes. Cool on wire rack.

Types of dietThe Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still widely used today. Although highly controversial, it allows weight reduction whilst still eating foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like lamb and eggs. With the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is often referred to as a low carb/high protein, nutrition and weight loss system. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic behind the atkins diet is that if we eat less carbs, our bodies will utilize our stored fat and we will reduce weight |
