How to Make Cherry Biscotti
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar and 2 large eggs until pale and thick (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add ¼ cup (60ml) olive oil, 2 tablespoons orange juice, 1 tablespoon grated orange zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat for 1-2 minutes until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour, ½ cup (60g) chopped walnuts, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup (140g) dried cherries by hand.
- Lightly flour a clean surface. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently knead in just enough additional flour to prevent sticking (about 1-2 tablespoons).
- Shape the dough into two logs, about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
- Place the logs 3-4 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Flatten the tops slightly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg white and 1 teaspoon water. Brush the tops of the logs with the egg white mixture.
- Sprinkle generously with granulated sugar.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until light golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
- Using a serrated knife, cut the logs diagonally into ½-inch thick slices.
- Arrange the slices, cut-side down, on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Flip the slices and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Transfer the biscotti to a wire rack to cool completely.
