Categories     dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield 16 to 18 biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup bolted yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil, melted
2 large eggs, at room temperature, whisked
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, rosemary, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk together the melted coconut oil and eggs in a small bowl and add to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. It will look crumbly at first, then sticky. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
  • Heavily dust your work surface with powdered sugar and turn out the dough. Knead until smooth, then shape into a 10-by-2-1/2-inch slightly flattened log and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden and firm, 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
  • When cool enough to handle, place the dough log on a work surface and cut crosswise with a serrated knife into 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick pieces to form individual cookies. Put the cookies back on the same baking sheet lying flat. Bake until golden brown and firm, about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let cool before serving.

Time 1h

Yield 60 biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup pine nuts
2 3/4 cups flour, plus flour for work surface
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
4 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, coarsely chopped

  • Meanwhile, sift the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder together and set aside.
  • Beat the eggs lightly, just until they are blended in a mixing bowl with a whisk or in an electric mixer. Remove two tablespoons of the egg mixture to a small dish and set aside. Beat the sugar into the remaining eggs until blended. Stir in the vanilla, rosemary and lemon zest, then stir in the flour mixture to form a soft dough.

These have such a unique wonderful flavor that surprises everyone who tries them. The combination of the rosemary with the sweetness of the apricot is a great flavor.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup dried currants or 3/4 cup dried apricot, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside.

  • Cut dough in half and shape into 2 logs (about 12 inches long and 1 inch thick).
  • Bake until just starting to brown at the edges, about 35 minutes. (keep an eye as not to over do, ovens vary, i didn't go the full 35 minutes) Let cool for a few minutes on baking sheets.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Rosemary: Select fresh, fragrant rosemary sprigs with vibrant green leaves. Avoid woody or dried rosemary, as it will not impart as much flavor.
  • Measuring Flour Correctly: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour. Alternatively, fluff the flour with a spoon before spooning it into the measuring cup, and level it off with a knife.
  • Achieving the Right Dough Consistency: The dough should be slightly sticky but not too wet. If it's too sticky, add a bit more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps it hold its shape better and results in a crispier biscotti. Make sure to wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap before refrigerating.
  • Slicing the Biscotti: Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the biscotti. This will help prevent the biscotti from crumbling or breaking.
  • Baking the Biscotti Twice: The double-baking process is essential for achieving the signature crispiness of biscotti. Make sure to let the biscotti cool completely between baking sessions.

With its delightful combination of flavors and textures, rosemary biscotti is a delectable treat that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a warm beverage.
