Double Ginger Biscotti Recipes

CHOCOLATE, HAZELNUT AND GINGER BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Sift first 5 ingredients into medium bowl. Add 3 eggs and vanilla; beat until blended. Stir in chocolate chips, nuts and crystallized ginger (dough will be firm). Turn dough out onto floured surface. Gather into ball. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into 12-inch-long log. Transfer logs to prepared baking sheet, spacing 3 inches apart. Flatten each to 2 1/2-inch-wide log. Whisk remaining egg in small bowl to blend. Brush logs with some of beaten egg.
• Bake logs until golden and firm to touch, about 35 minutes. Cool logs on baking sheet 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
• Transfer logs to cutting board. Using serrated knife, cut logs crosswise into scant 1/2-inch-wide slices. Place slices, cut side down, on large baking sheets. Bake until firm, about 15 minutes. Transfer biscotti to racks and cool completely.
• Stir white chocolate in top of double boiler set over barely simmering water until melted and smooth. Remove from over water. Place biscotti on rack set over baking sheet. Using spoon, drizzle melted white chocolate decoratively in zigzag pattern over biscotti. Let stand until chocolate is firm. (Can be prepared ahead. Store biscotti in airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 1 month.)

CHEF JOHN'S GINGERBREAD BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne together in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Combine butter, brown sugar, and molasses in a bowl; mix with a spatula until creamy. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Add vanilla and chopped ginger. Mix and mash with the whisk until ginger is evenly distributed and coated with the butter-sugar mixture, about 1 minute.
• Mix in 1/2 of the dry ingredients with a spatula until incorporated. Mix in remaining dry ingredients until dough is very wet and sticky.
• Transfer dough to a long piece of plastic wrap, using a buttered knife to help if necessary. Wrap plastic around the dough and shape with your hands into a uniform log, about 12 to 14 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
• Remove dough from the refrigerator, unwrap, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Wet your fingers and smooth out any edges.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
• Remove loaf from the oven, cover with a clean towel, and let sit for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Uncover the loaf and brush a little water around the bottom edge to soften. Transfer to a cutting board.
• Use a serrated knife to cut the loaf into 1/2-inch slices. Cut at an angle for longer biscotti, or straight across for shorter ones. Transfer slices back to the baking sheet.
• Return to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Flip biscotti and cook until they are dry and crispy all the way through, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool to room temperature.
• Place melted white chocolate into a plastic bag. Snip off a corner and pipe over biscotti. Let sit until chocolate has cooled and hardened, about 30 minutes.

DOUBLE DARK CHOCOLATE AND GINGER BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. With an electric mixer, beat egg, egg yolk, and sugar in another bowl until light and fluffy; beat in the vanilla and oil until well combined.
• With the mixer on low, beat in flour mixture until combined. Mix in walnuts, chocolate, and ginger with a flexible spatula or wooden spoon (dough will be stiff).
• With moistened hands, shape the dough into two logs, each about 6 1/2 inches long, 1 inch thick, and 2 inches wide. Bake until set on top, about 25 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack; let cool 30 to 40 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
• Transfer logs to a cutting board. With a serrated knife, trim ends and cut each log on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Bake, cut side down, until crisp, about 20 minutes, flipping the biscotti and rotating sheet halfway through. Cool 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer biscotti to rack to cool completely. Biscotti can be stored up to 1 week at room temperature in an airtight container.
