How to Make Walnut Orange And Black Pepper Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the orange zest and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the walnuts and black pepper.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  6. Place the log on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  9. Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  10. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then flip and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  12. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
