Peanut and Almond Biscotti
>> September 10, 2010
I'm really craving of biscotti which I can find easily at Second Cup, but I really want to make it by myself. I'm still learning how to bake properly thou. There is a baking website that I really trust, you can click in here, so I made this biscotti based on that recipe. Because I don't have any hazelnut simply I substitute it with peanuts and almonds, still taste good.
Ingredients:
1 cup peanuts
4 oz semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup almond
1 cup brown sugar
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tbs coffee powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Direction:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees to toast peanuts for 10 minutes. Put in a food processor until it chopped finely. Put down the oven temperature to 300 degrees.
- Sift/whisk flour, cocoa powder, coffee powder, baking soda and salt.
- Melt the chocolate and mix with sugar.
- With hand mixer beat eggs and vanilla extract about 30 seconds. Add the chocolate mixture and flour mixture. Add the peanuts and almonds about halfway through mixing.
- With greased hands, divide the dough in a half. On a lightly greased surface, roll each half of dough into a log about 10 inches or 25 cm long and 2 inches wide. Transfer to prepared greased pan spacing about 7.5 cm. Bake until almost firm to touch, about 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Using a long spatula, transfer the log to cutting board. Cut the dough into slices 3/4 inches (2 cm) thick on the diagonal. Arrange the slices cut side-down on the greased pan or baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the slices over and bake until crisp and dry for about 15 minutes.
