CHOCOLATE-PISTACHIO BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. Place the pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven, shaking the baking sheet occasionally, until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and allow to cool slightly. Roughly chop, then cool completely.
• In a mixer, beat together the butter, vanilla, salt, eggs and egg yolk. Add the flour, sugar and baking powder and mix on low until a rough dough begins to form. Add the pistachios and chocolate chips and continue to mix. If the dough seems dry, add some cold water a teaspoon at a time. If the dough is too wet, add a pinch of flour.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured cutting board and knead gently to make sure the chocolate chips and pistachios are evenly distributed. Divide the dough in half, and shape each into a 10-by-3-inch log. Place onto one of the prepared baking sheets and bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Let the biscotti rest until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.

Gradually stir in the flour and cornmeal until very well blended (if necessary, work in the last of it with your hands). Let dough stand for 5 minutes to firm up.
• Divide the dough in half. Using greased hands, shape and smooth each half into an 8x4-inch loaf, spacing them 4 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Pat each loaf to an even thickness.
• Bake 24 to 28 minutes or until firm and light brown and a toothpick inserted near the center of each comes out clean. Remove from oven. Set aside; cool completely. Transfer to a cutting board. Using a large, serrated knife, cut each loaf into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Place slices, cut side down, on parchment-paper-lined baking sheets.
• Return one baking sheet to the oven. Bake slices 12 to 14 minutes or until toasted and light brown, turning once halfway through baking and watching closely to avoid overbrowning. Slide the parchment paper with baked cookies on it to a wire rack and let cool. Repeat with remaining slices.
• Microwave chocolate and shortening in a medium microwave-safe bowl on 100% power (high) 1 to 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 30 seconds.

• Sift all dry ingredients together.
• In small bowl, dissolve espresso powder in 1/3 cup water.
• Add eggs and olive oil and beat with a whisk until well-combined.
• Pour wet ingredients into dry, add pistachios and (yes, I do this by hand) start mixing the flour gently into the liquids until all the ingredients have been incorporated and you have a malleable dough.
• If the dough is a bit sticky, sprinkle over 1 tablespoonful of flour and turn dough into the flour to coat.
• Knead the flour in.
• The dough should now be malleable without being sticky.
• If it is still sticky, repeat with another tablespoonful of flour.
• Cut dough into 3 equal pieces and shape into logs that are about 12 inches long and 2 ½ inches wide (every person’s logs are slightly different – they will spread while baking so have a good distance between them).
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• The biscotti will have risen only slightly, spread out some, and have a cracked surface.
• Cool completely.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• With a serrated bread knife and a straight, downwards motion, cut biscotti at just under ½ inch intervals on the diagonal.
• (this will leave you with 6 not-so-nice-looking end pieces that you can munch on there and then) Place the pieces, cut side down, back in the baking pan.
• Not all the pieces may fit, in which case you’ll have to bake a second pan's worth after the first.
• Staggering two pans is not suggested unless you have a convection oven and can use that feature to make sure there is even heat distributed within the oven.
• Bake 15 minutes, turn pieces over, bake 15 minutes longer.
• Cool completely and keep in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt to a food processor and pulse until combined. Add the maple syrup and pulse until you get a dough. Allow a little time for the coconut flour to absorb the moisture. Remove the dough from the food processor and work in the pistachios and chocolate chips with a spoon. You can do this with your hands but the dough will be very sticky. Form the dough into one log on a baking sheet lined with either parchment paper or a Silpat (silicon pad). Chocolate biscotti dough log Bake for 15 minutes then allow to cool completely, about one hour. Cooked chocolate biscotti dough log Cut the dough log into 1/2 inch slices on the diagonal with a sharp knife. (I used a bread knife).

CHOCOLATE & PISTACHIO BISCOTTI

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat in the eggs at low speed until a crumbly dough forms. 2. In another bowl, beat the brown sugar with the butter and the vanilla, coffee and almond extracts until combined. Scrape the mixture into the crumbly dough and beat at medium speed until a soft, sticky dough forms. Add the chopped chocolate and shelled pistachios and beat at low speed just until evenly distributed. 3. Divide the dough into 4 clumps and transfer 2 of the clumps to each baking sheet. Form each clump into an 8-inch-long rope; pat the ropes until they're about 2 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick. Bake for about 22 minutes, until the logs are puffed and springy to the touch; rotate the pans halfway through baking. Carefully transfer the logs to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 200°. 4. Using a sharp knife, cut the logs crosswise into scant 1/2-inch-thick slices; each log will yield about 20. Return the slices to the baking sheets and bake for about 30 minutes longer, flipping the biscotti once after 15 minutes, until crisp. Transfer to racks to cool.

CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO BISCOTTI

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a standing electric mixer fitted with paddle, (I do not have a standing mixer but a hand held one) beat the butter and sugar at medium speed until creamy. Add the eggs, vanilla seeds and rum and beat until smooth.
• 2. In a small bowl whisk the flour with cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the batter and beat at low speed until incorporated. Beat in the whole pistachios. ( I first used whole but coarsely chopped is a little easier to work with)
• 3. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. On a lightly floured surface roll each piece into about a 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch thick log. Place two logs on each baking sheet at least 3 inches apart and press to flatten slightly. Then brush the logs with beaten egg white.
• 4. Bake logs for approximately 25 minutes. The tops should be cracked and glossy and slightly firm to the touch. Remove from oven and let logs cool slightly. (5-10 minutes) Using a sharp chef's knife, cut the logs into approx 1/3 inch thick diagonal slices. Arrange the slices on the baking sheets and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until dry.
• 5. Let cool completely; If you choose to melt chocolate for dipping you will need to follow instructions for melting chocolate. After dipping one end in the chocolate you can sprinkle lightly with the chopped pistachios. Place on cookie sheet with wax paper and refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
