Green Apple & Cheddar Biscotti - Doggie Biscotti
Ingredients:
4 cups pastry flour or unbleached flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 green apple, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup natural Cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup filtered water
1.) Preheat oven to 325o F.
2.) Measure the flour, baking powder, apple and cheese into a mixing bowl. Stir until combined.
3.) Make a well in the center of the flour and pour the canola oil in all at once. Mix on medium speed and mix until crumbly. Add the water and stir until just combined, and it forms a soft dough.
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, before cutting the dough into 1/4 inch strips 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. (Biscotti can be stored for long periods of time)
