CHOCOLATE, HAZELNUT AND GINGER BISCOTTI
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Sift first 5 ingredients into medium bowl. Add 3 eggs and vanilla; beat until blended. Stir in chocolate chips, nuts and crystallized ginger (dough will be firm). Turn dough out onto floured surface. Gather into ball. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into 12-inch-long log. Transfer logs to prepared baking sheet, spacing 3 inches apart. Flatten each to 2 1/2-inch-wide log. Whisk remaining egg in small bowl to blend. Brush logs with some of beaten egg.
- Bake logs until golden and firm to touch, about 35 minutes. Cool logs on baking sheet 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
- Transfer logs to cutting board. Using serrated knife, cut logs crosswise into scant 1/2-inch-wide slices. Place slices, cut side down, on large baking sheets. Bake until firm, about 15 minutes. Transfer biscotti to racks and cool completely.
- Stir white chocolate in top of double boiler set over barely simmering water until melted and smooth. Remove from over water. Place biscotti on rack set over baking sheet. Using spoon, drizzle melted white chocolate decoratively in zigzag pattern over biscotti. Let stand until chocolate is firm. (Can be prepared ahead. Store biscotti in airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 1 month.)
Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the biscotti will be.
- Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscotti tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the biscotti hold their shape.
- Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown and firm to the touch. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the biscotti cool completely before slicing them. This will help prevent them from breaking.
- Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
These double dark chocolate and ginger biscotti are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for a snack or dessert, and they also make great gifts. With their rich chocolate flavor and spicy ginger kick, these biscotti are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
