Let's get Baking!!!
To Make Delicious Biscotti You Need:
1 cup of all purpose flour
½ cup of white sugar
⅔ teaspoon of baking soda
3 tablespoons of extra virgin oil
½ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 large egg
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Using just half a cup of sugar makes the biscotti not too sweet so it's not tiring to eat.
I know most of these ingredients if not all of it could be readily available in our homes and it would be brilliant to make something delicious and interesting out of them before the expire.
Here are the steps that you can follow to make sure those pastries are made wonderfully:
Its very important that before we begin the procedure we are able to measure all the ingredients and set them aside so they are ready to use. By doing this there will be no time wasted and all ingredients will be prepared in the right amount.
For making our biscotti we would used the popular creaming method.
Step One
In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients which include the flour, salt and baking powder. Use a spoon to mix together all three ingredients to make sure that they are evenly distributed.
Step Two
We are going to use creaming method. In another bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil and the icing sugar, mix it very well preferably using a wooden spoon. Mix in the egg, and finally the vanilla.
Step Three
We need to combine the flour mixture and the creamed mixture; mix in the flour by adding small portions at a time. Make sure the all the flour is properly mixed then add in the chocolate chip. Mix it well and set aside to prepare your cookie sheet and preheat your oven.
It is necessary to preheat your oven for at least 10mins before baking the biscotti.
Grease the cookie sheet, cover it up using wax paper and grease the surface of the wax paper as well to prevent the biscotti from sticking to the wax paper. Mold the biscotti in a convex manner, making it look like a kind of semi-oval shape.
Step Four
When the over has been preheated, bake the biscotti at 370 degrees for thirty minutes. After thirty minutes remove the biscotti from the oven and cool for about 10 minutes, slice up the biscotti to half an inch, reverse and bake for another 10 minutes.
When it is baked remove it from the oven and cool. When it is cool you can enjoy your delicious biscotti with a glass of milk and keep the rest in a jar or in the fridge. Hope you enjoy this recipe.
Cheers!
