For all those cheese lovers...savory parmesan biscotti

I recently ordered a huge pack of parmesan in Italy. That’s why I was looking for some new recipes which include parmesan. Not, that I was in a need of parmesan recipes and if it wouldn’t be that odd I would eat parmesan straight as it is…but I wanted to try some new dishes.

So I discovered these parmesan biscotti which I wanted to try immediately.

These biscotti taste delicious and I recommend them for those who don’t always want something sweet as a snack.

Or…with a nice packaging and a good bottle of wine it would be a cute little present.

So here are the directions:

Combine 2 ¾ cups of flour, ½ a cup of grated mozzarella and 1/3 cup of grated parmesan in a big bowl. Add in 3 tablespoons of cornstarch, 2 teaspoons of baking soda and season with black pepper, rosemary and basil.

In a separate bowl whisk together 1/3 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon oilve oil and 3 eggs. Then add all the dry ingredients by spoonfuls until it comes together to a ball. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes.
Then portion your dough and form 4 rolls with a diameter of about 1-2cm.

Take a sharp knife and cut each roll into little chunks. If your dough is too sticky, dunk your knife in water before cutting each piece.

 

Next place the biscottis onto a lined baking tray and bake until they’re nicely golden. This will take about 20 minutes at 180°-200°C.

Special tip: If you want you can add some pine nuts and/or dried tomatoes. This would make the biscotti even more savory.

Enjoy
