Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Fresh Strawberries | 150g |
| All-purpose Flour | 290g |
| Brown Sugar | 130g |
| Eggs | 55g |
| Baking Powder | 8g |
| Whole Milk | 40g |
| Butter | 120g |
| Vanilla Bean Pod | ½ |
| Fine Salt | ½ tsp |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Strawberries: Start by washing and thoroughly drying the strawberries. Remove the stems and slice the berries into small pieces. Set them aside to let any excess moisture evaporate.
-
Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter (cut into small pieces), brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Using electric beaters, beat the mixture for about two minutes until it becomes smooth and creamy.
-
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack the egg into the bowl and add the seeds from half of the vanilla bean pod. Continue to beat the mixture until the egg and vanilla are fully incorporated.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder into the bowl using a fine-mesh sieve. Stir the mixture gently with a spatula to incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, making sure everything is evenly distributed.
-
Form the Biscotti Dough: Once the dough is mixed, transfer it into a disposable piping bag without a tip. This will help you portion the dough into evenly spaced portions on your baking tray.
-
Prepare for Baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently pipe small mounds of dough onto the sheet, ensuring that there is enough space between each mound (aim for about 14-15 pieces per batch). You should be able to make 30 biscotti with this dough, so feel free to divide the dough into two batches: 12 biscotti in the first and 8 biscotti in the final batch.
-
Optional Decoration: Lightly dust the tops of the biscotti with powdered sugar for an added touch of sweetness and a beautiful finish.
-
Bake the Biscotti: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) in static mode. Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 minutes. The biscotti should remain light in color and feel soft to the touch when done.
-
Cooling and Serving: Once baked, remove the biscotti from the oven and allow them to cool on the tray for a few minutes. They should maintain their soft, delicate texture. Once fully cooled, your soft strawberry biscotti is ready to be enjoyed!
This deliciously tender and fragrant biscotti recipe will leave your kitchen smelling like summer. Serve these soft strawberry treats with a hot cup of tea or coffee for a delightful snack that’s perfect for any time of the day. Enjoy your homemade soft strawberry biscotti!
