Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Coarsely chop the pistachio nuts.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, sugar, mixed spice, cinnamon, and ginger. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of the spices.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are frothy.
- Add in the orange zest and whisk again until combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Fold in the chopped pistachios until they are evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and transfer the dough onto it.
- With floured hands, shape the dough into a log about 12 inches (30 cm) long and 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide. The dough will be sticky, so add flour as necessary to manage.
- Carefully transfer the dough log onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the log is firm and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 275°F (135°C).
- Once the log is cool enough to handle, use a sharp, serrated knife to slice it diagonally into 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick slices.
- Arrange the slices cut-side down back onto the baking sheet.
- Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, then flip the biscotti and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the biscotti are golden and crisp.
- Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Transfer the baked biscotti to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container. Enjoy with coffee, tea, or as a delightful snack anytime!
Tips:
- Toast the pistachios for a few minutes before adding them to the dough to enhance their flavor.
- Make sure to zest the orange before juicing it to get the most zest possible.
- Double baking the biscotti is essential for achieving their signature crisp texture, so don't skip this step.
- Let the biscotti cool completely before storing them in an airtight container to maintain their crunchiness.
- Experiment with different spice mixes to customize the flavor to your liking.
In conclusion, making pistachio & mixed-spice biscotti is a simple yet rewarding baking project. The combination of pistachios and spices creates a unique and delicious flavor profile that is perfect for any occasion. Enjoy these biscotti with your favorite beverage or share them with friends and family.
