TUSCAN BISCOTTI (CANTUCCI)



Tuscan Biscotti (Cantucci) image

Otherwise known as biscotti di Prato, cantucci are twice-baked almond cookies from Tuscany. Martha ups the ante by adding pistachios and two kinds of dried fruit-apricots and cherries.

Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs, plus 1 lightly beaten large egg white
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup raw almonds, lightly toasted and roughly chopped
1 cup pistachios, lightly toasted
1 cup dried apricots, chopped
3/4 cup dried cherries, chopped
2 tablespoons coarse sanding sugar
2 tablespoons coarse sanding sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together eggs and granulated sugar until pale and thick, about 5 minutes. Mix in orange zest and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture until combined. Mix in nuts and dried fruit.
  • Divide dough evenly between two parchment-lined baking sheets, forming each half into a 9-by-5-inch rectangle. Brush tops with egg white and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon sanding sugar.
  • Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden all over and tops are firm to the touch, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cool 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
  • Working with one rectangle at a time, transfer dough to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut on a slight diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange, cut-side down, on fresh parchment-lined baking sheets.
  • Bake, rotating sheets and flipping cookies halfway through, until lightly golden all over, about 40 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.

ALMOND BISCOTTI TOSCANI (GLUTEN-FREE)



Almond Biscotti Toscani (Gluten-Free) image

I went to a gluten-free baking class and this was one of the featured recipes. I had never had biscotti before, so I don't really know how this compares. I liked it however. It was quite good dipped in my coffee and had just the right amount of crunch and sweetness. Makes a fair amount and supposedly keeps for a long time.

CANTUCCI {ITALIAN ALMOND BISCOTTI}



Cantucci {Italian Almond Biscotti} image

Make these easy cantucci cookies, also know as crunchy almond biscotti, with only 4 main ingredients! They are perfect for dunking in coffee, tea or sweet Marsala Vine.

Provided by Italian Recipe Book

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lightly heaping cups all purpose flour, ( 300 grams)
1 scant cup granulated sugar, (200 grams + 1 tbsp for dusting)
1 cup almonds with skin, (150 grams)
2 large eggs (for the dough (see notes))
½ egg (for eggwash)
½ tbsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Lemon zest (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Lightly beat the eggs and add to dry ingredients. Add vanilla extract and/or lemon zest. Work with your hands or standing mixer until crumbly dough forms.
  • TIP: take a small piece of dough and try to roll it into a ball. If the dough comes together nicely and you're able to form a sticky small ball than you're on the right track (see notes).
  • Add almonds and continue to knead until almonds are well combined with the dough.It's normal for almonds to fall out at first, as you continue kneading you'll be able incorporate all of them (and maybe even more, if you prefer).
  • Divide the dough into 3 parts.Dust work surface lightly with flour. Roll each part into a thin log - about 2 inch (5 cm) thick and 10 inch (25 cm) long.Arrange logs on a baking sheet well apart from each other. They will puff in the oven (see images).
  • Brush with ½ beaten egg.
  • Bake in a preheated to 350 F (180C) oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly brown.
  • Once out of the oven let cool for 10 minutes. Cut with a sharp knife slightly on the diafgonal into about ½ inch (1.5 cm) thick slices.
  • Place cantucci cut side up back on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for the second time at 350 F (180C) for another 10-15 minutes. Biscotti should not brown but dry a little bit. They will still be soft straigh out of the oven but with harden as they cool.
