Carob & Cherry Biscotti - Doggie Biscotti
Ingredients:
4 cups pastry flour or unbleached flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons unsweetened carob powder
1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped
4 tablespoons natural unsalted peanut butter
1/2 cup filtered water
1.) Preheat oven to 325o F.
2.) Measure the flour, baking powder, carob powder and cherries into a mixing bowl. Stir until combined.
3.) Combine the peanut butter and water in a glass measuring cup and stir until smooth and creamy. Make a well in the center of the flour and put in the peanut butter mixture. Mix on medium speed until all ingredients are just combined.
4.) Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a flat disc. Place the disc on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Using a rolling pin flatten the disc out to 1/2 inch thick.
5.) Bake 18-25 minutes or until the biscotti is dry and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Cut the dough into 1/4 inch strips using either a knife or a pizza cutter and then once again into 1/2 inch cubes. Separate the cubes and return the pan to the oven to bake for another 15-20 minutes.
6.) When done cool on a baking rack and then store in a cookie jar.
