I've long loved biscotti with my morning coffee but during the quarantine period it had been all but impossible to obtain from the places I used to buy it, so I found out how to make it myself. This is adapted from a recipe originally found at shelovesbiscotti.com, but without the granulated sugar (all brown sugar only) or lemon zest, whose point I could never get. It is less sweet and there's a hint of a salty flavour that I enjoy with my coffee. 🇮🇹
View original recipe on cookpad.comPreheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a large bowl.
Combine olive oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
Mix egg mixture and flour mixture into a batter. Fold in almonds.
On baking parchment or non-stick silicone baking mat, form the batter into two logs.
Bake mixture for 30 minutes or until golden brown and firm. Let cool for ten minutes.
With a serrated knife cut biscotti into 1 cm thick slices.
Bake sliced biscotti for 15–20 more minutes. The longer it is baked the harder it becomes. Turn over at the halfway mark. Let cool.
