Rosie soldiers on.
It is Saturday.
Day 12.
Today's offering is Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti.
Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti
1 1/3 cups dried cranberries
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup pistachios
egg wash
(1 egg and 1 tsp water beaten together)
Blend the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add eggs and vanilla,
beating until a dough is formed.
Stir in cranberries and pistachios.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface.
Knead it several times.
Halve it.
Working on a buttered and floured baking sheet,
form each piece of dough into a flattish log,
13 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Brush with egg wash.
Bake in a 325 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Let cool on baking sheet on a rack for 10 minutes.
Remove to a cutting board and cut the logs
crosswise on the diagonal
into 3/4 inch thick slices.
Arrange the biscotti,
cut sides down,
on the baking sheet.
Bake in a 325 degree oven 10-12 minutes
on each side,
until pale golden.
Cool on rack.
I thought I'd shoot numerous pictures
of brushing the dough
so Xmaskatie could enjoy my Christmas roses.
