How to Make Colourful Cantuccini
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a large bowl, combine 250g all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt, 150g granulated sugar, and 100g slivered almonds. Mix well.
- Add 100g chopped candied cherries (or other dried fruit), 50g chopped pistachios (optional), and the zest of 1 lemon. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add 100ml extra virgin olive oil, stirring until a dough forms. If necessary, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to achieve the right consistency. The dough will be quite firm.
- Divide the dough into 3 equal portions. Shape each portion into a log approximately 2.5cm in diameter and 25cm long.
- Place the logs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 3cm between each.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush the egg wash gently over the surface of the logs.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Reduce oven temperature to 160°C (320°F).
- Using a serrated knife, cut the cooled logs into 0.5cm thick slices.
- Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Store in an airtight container.
