biscotti

If you've never made biscotti before, you should really try. It's really easy and the homemade product is way better than store-bought. I made this recipe over Christmas and it was a hit.

3 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 tbsp canola oil
2 1/2 tsp almond extract
3/4 cup shelled raw unsalted natural pistachios
1 cup chopped dried fruit (I used dried cherries)
1/2 cup high quality white chocolate, also chopped

Oven 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
Combine dry ingredients; set aside.
Beat sugar, eggs, oil, and almond extract until well blended. Add dry mixture and beat until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and combine well.
Form dough into two twelve inch logs and place on baking sheets. Wet fingers and press each log into a three inch wide flattened log.
Bake until lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool on sheets for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, reduce oven temperature to 325F.
Transfer logs to cutting board and slice each into 18 even slices. Place slices on baking sheet and return to oven about 20 minutes.
Dip one end or one side in melted high quality white chocolate.
