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.

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease and flour two cookie sheets, or line with parchment paper.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the whole eggs with the vanilla just enough to mix yolks and whites. Stir the eggs into the dry mixture, then add the almonds and hazelnuts, gently kneading in the bowl to form a dough. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and continue kneading for a few minutes to distribute the nuts evenly throughout. Set the dough aside to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each into a log no more than 2 inches in diameter and three-fourths inch high. As each log is shaped, set it on a cookie sheet, keeping them a few inches apart to allow for expansion while baking.

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle, combine the flour with the 1 cup of granulated sugar, almonds, baking powder, anise seeds, lemon zest and salt. Add the whole eggs, egg yolks and vin santo and beat at low speed until a stiff, crumbly, slightly sticky dough forms.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead it 2 or 3 times, until it just comes together. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces and form each one into a 12-by-1 1/2-inch log. Transfer the logs to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the logs with the egg white and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Bake the logs in the center of the oven for 25 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and slightly firm. Let the logs cool for 30 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a cutting board.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. While the logs are still warm, cut them into 1/3-inch slices with a sharp serrated knife. Arrange the cantucci on the sheets, cut sides down, and bake, turning once, until golden, about 25 minutes.
