Parmesan Rosemary And Mustard Biscotti Recipes

BISCOTTI ALLA PARMIGIANA

Steps:

• In a bowl of a food processor add flour, butter, Parmesan cheese, rosemary and salt. Pulse until crumbly, but sticks together when pressed with fingers. Pour onto a floured pastry board and gather into a ball. Cover it with plastic wrap and allow dough to rest in refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove dough from the refrigerator and allow it to warm slightly, about 10 minutes. Place rested dough on a lightly floured pastry board and roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper. Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out circles and place them on the baking sheet, 1-inch apart. Gather dough scraps into a ball. Roll out leftover dough and cut additional circles. Continue until all the dough is used. If the dough becomes too soft and the butter starts to melt, place it back into the refrigerator to firm up again.
• Place in oven and bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

ROSEMARY-PARMESAN BISCOTTI

• Lightly flour your hands and a work surface; turn out the dough and knead until smooth. Divide the dough in half and shape each piece into a 2 1/2-inch-thick log. Spray a baking sheet with the olive oil and place the dough logs on it. Whisk the remaining egg and brush it over the dough. Bake for 35 minutes.
• Let cool for a few minutes and then cut the biscotti on the diagonal into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place on the baking sheet cut side down, using 2 pans if necessary. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake until browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely.

Repeat with remaining logs, transferring slices to sheets. Bake, turning over once, until golden and crisp, 35 to 45 minutes total. Cool biscotti on baking sheets on racks, about 15 minutes.
