ITALIAN WINE BISCUITS RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Italian Wine Biscuits Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup good dry red wine
1 cup quality olive oil
1 cup sugar
4 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon fennel seed
1 egg lightly beaten, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, stir wine and olive oil. In a large bowl, stir sugar, flour, baking powder, and fennel seed. Stir in liquids. Stir until well blended and a dough begins to forms. Lightly work the dough with your hands until the texture is oily, smooth, and springy. If the dough is too sticky, then mix in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour at a time, until smooth. Using your hands, pinch off a 2-tablespoon size piece of dough. Roll the dough between lightly floured hands. Roll into a thin cigar shape that is approximately 8 inches long. Form a U shape, then criss-cross the pieces until a braid forms. Place 15 biscuits per baking sheet. Brush tops of biscuits with egg wash. Bake for 40 minutes, rotating pans mid-way through. Biscuits should have a golden color and be crisp on the bottom. Remove from oven and place on a cookie rack to cool completely. Biscuits should be stored in an air-tight tin container (preferably tin to maintain their crispness) and kept in a cool area, such as a cupboard. Properly stored, they should last up to one month.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your biscuits. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the biscuits to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the biscuits cool before serving. This will give them a chance to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Italian wine biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from casual get-togethers to holiday parties. With their simple ingredients and classic flavor, these biscuits are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
