I posted a teaser on Facebook about Mister's project for today. Well, here is the step by step for . . . . . drumroll please . . . . . Biscotti! You'd better all be impressed because I sure as heck am. Here are his pictures and recipe for almond biscotti fromCooks Illustrated.
Toast almonds, some are rough chopped, some are processed fine.
To the fine chopped almonds, add flour, salt, baking powder and process
Dump dry ingredients into bowl, add 2 eggs and process until light and doubled in size. add sugar, almond and vanilla extract, process to combine.
Dump into bowl, add 1/2 the dry ingredients and fold. add the rest plus the chopped almonds and mix.
Flour your hands and form into two loaves on parchment paper covered cookie sheet.
paint with egg white wash and place in 325 oven for 30 minutes
rotate half way (lesson learned, they spread more than I thought)
take out and cool for 30 minutes (Go look for Lady and find her in the studio cursing like crazy at a quilt border -- I need a rack for the next step and she is not helpful.)
Cut into 1/2 inch slices and place on a rack, cut side down
bake for 35 more minutes, flipping them at 17 minutes
Remove from oven and cool.
These look amazing and I (Lady) can promise you that they are. Oh Yum. Way to go Mister.
