These biscotti are the closest I have come to expensive biscotti you buy in gourmet shops. They are truly delicious and what a biscotti is supposed to be. I think it is the rice flour that gives them a unique texture.

Time 2h

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup rice flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons anise seeds
1 3/4 cups hazelnuts or 1 3/4 cups pine nuts, roasted in your oven until golden brown,chopped into big chunks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Pour the flours into a big bowl and make a well in the center large enough to place the sugar, 3 of the 4 eggs, the 2 egg yolks, the baking powder, salt, vanilla and anise seed.
  • Gently knead the dough for 5 minutes, This is a hard dough so it needs to be convinced to gather together (I have used my kitchen-aid mixer with the dough hook with good results).
  • Slowly add the nuts (almonds are my favorite) and keep on kneading until well incorporated, You may need some additional flour to keep it from sticking to the bowl.
  • Butter and flour 2 cookie sheets that are at least 15 inches, Divide the dough into 4 even pieces and roll each one into a log, Place the logs well apart, 2 to each sheet,.
  • Beat with the remaining egg and brush the top of the logs with egg.
  • Bake the biscotti loaves for 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 325.
  • Slice the biscotti and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes of baking time, Cool on racks.
  • Variations: Melt a couple of bars of Gianduia chocolate or any Italian chocolate with nuts or praline in it, melt in a double boiler with a teapsoon of vegetable shortening, Dip half the biscotti into the chocolate and put it on a cooling rack until the chocolate hardens.
