Instructions
-
Preheat Oven & Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of unbleached flour, 1/2 cup of whole wheat pastry flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients & Combine:
- Add 3 tablespoons of liquid honey and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
- Incorporate 3 tablespoons of chopped dried pear, 1 cup of cooked brown rice, and 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts into the mixture.
- Mix just until the batter holds together. If the batter seems too dry, add up to 2 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, until it forms a cohesive dough.
-
Shape the Dough:
- Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log approximately 6 inches long and 4 inches wide.
- Pat down each log slightly to create a more squared shape.
-
First Bake:
- Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 16 minutes, or until the tops are light brown and firm.
-
Cool & Slice:
- Remove the logs from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
- Using a serrated knife, carefully cut each log into slices diagonally to form biscotti.
-
Second Bake:
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
- Arrange the biscotti slices cut side down back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 9 minutes, then remove the sheet from the oven and flip the biscotti over to the other cut side.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the biscotti are lightly browned and toasted on both sides.
-
Cool & Store:
- Transfer the biscotti to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store the biscotti in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
Tips for the Perfect Biscotti
- Ensure Even Slices: For uniform baking, try to cut the biscotti slices as evenly as possible.
- Add a Twist: Feel free to experiment with different dried fruits or nuts to suit your taste.
- Enjoy with Coffee or Tea: These biscotti are perfect for dipping into your favorite hot beverage for a delightful treat. ☕🍵
