Savory Biscotti Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, dried rosemary, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar:

    • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the softened butter and sugar until creamy and well combined.
  3. Incorporate Wet Ingredients:

    • To the butter-sugar mixture, add the Dijon mustard and grated parmesan cheese. Crack in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures:

    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. Ensure that all ingredients are well blended together.
  5. Fold in Walnuts:

    • Gently fold in the walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough. This will add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to your biscotti.
  6. Shape the Dough:

    • On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough in half. Form each half into a log shape, approximately 11 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on a lightly greased baking sheet, ensuring some space between them.
  7. First Bake:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the biscotti logs for about 20 minutes or until they are slightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
  8. Slice and Second Bake:

    • Allow the baked logs to cool for about 5 minutes. Then, using a serrated knife, carefully slice the logs into 3/4 inch slices. Place the slices back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the biscotti are golden brown and crisp.
  9. Cool and Store:

    • Once baked to perfection, allow the savory biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness and flavor.
  10. Enjoy:

    • Serve these savory biscotti alongside your favorite dips, cheeses, or enjoy them on their own as a delicious snack or appetizer. They pair wonderfully with a glass of wine or a hot cup of tea.
  11. Optional Refrigeration:

    • If the dough seems too sticky to shape into logs, refrigerate it for about an hour before forming the logs. This will help firm up the dough and make it easier to work with.
