Seeded Graham Biscotti Recipes

BISCOTTI REGINA (SESAME SEED COOKIES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• Put the butter and sugar into the bowl of a mixer and cream until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time with the mixer running and beat until smooth. Add the vanilla and beat. Next, add the flour mixture and beat until well incorporated.
• To form the cookies, divide the dough in half and roll into logs 1-inch in diameter. Cut the logs into 3-inch lengths. Dip each piece of dough into the cream and then roll in the sesame seeds. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and place in the oven until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Let cool and serve. These will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

SEEDED GRAHAM BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, allspice, and hemp and fennel seeds in a bowl. In another bowl, beat brown sugar, eggs, vanilla seeds and extract, and zest on medium speed until pale and thickened, about 4 minutes. Beat in flour mixture. Stir in almonds.
• Shape dough into a 3-by-12-inch log. Combine sanding sugar and sesame seeds on a rimmed baking sheet; roll log in mixture to completely coat. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet; bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack.
• Transfer log to a cutting board. Slice with a serrated knife into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Return slices to baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, rotating sheet once, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet on wire rack before serving. (Biscotti can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.)
