Biscotti are baked twice for extra crunch, first as a log, then in slices. You can use other nuts and dried fruits in this recipe, such as hazelnuts and cherries, or almonds and apricots.

Time 1h15m

Yield Makes 48

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup shelled unsalted pistachios
3/4 cup golden raisins
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, pistachios, raisins, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla; add to flour mixture, and mix until combined (dough will be stiff; use hands if necessary to incorporate flour). Divide dough in half.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll each dough half into a 12-inch log; transfer logs to a baking sheet, and gently press to a 7/8-inch thickness. Bake until risen and firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool completely on baking sheet, about 30 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees. On a cutting board, use a serrated knife to slice logs into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Lay slices in a single layer on baking sheet; bake until dry and just starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
