Ingredients
- – 2 1/2 cups (600 ml) (300 grams) all-purpose flour
- – 3/4 cup (180 ml) (150 grams) granulated sugar
- – 1/2 cup (120 ml) (100 grams) light brown sugar well packed
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder
- – 2 teaspoons (10 ml) ground cinnamon
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground ginger
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) nutmeg
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) ground cloves
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt
- – 1 egg
- – 1/2 cup (120 ml) (120 grams) canned pumpkin puree
- – 1/3 cup (80 ml) (75 grams) vegetable oil
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) to preheat.
- Prepare a large baking tray by covering it with parchment paper that prevents sticking.
- Mix the flour, granulated and brown sugars, baking powder, spices, and salt together thoroughly in a bowl.
- Create a hollow space in the middle of the dry mixture.
- In another small bowl or container, beat together the egg, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla essence using a fork.
- Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture.
- Stir the mixtures together with a wooden spoon or spatula until they form a soft dough. You might need to use your hands to bring the dough together completely.
- Wrap the bowl with the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
- Split the dough into two identical parts.
- Sprinkle flour on your work surface and shape each portion into a 12-inch (30cm) log. Lay the logs on the prepared baking tray and remove any extra flour before baking.
- Bake for 25 minutes until the logs are browned and firm.
- Take them out of the oven and let them cool on the baking trays for 10 minutes.
- Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
- While the logs are still warm, slice each one into 20 pieces.
- Place the slices back onto the baking trays with the cut sides facing up and bake for another 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The biscotti will get crisper as they cool down.
- Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
- Consider adding chocolate chips or nuts to the dough for a sweeter flavor profile.
- Enhance the pumpkin taste by increasing the amount of pumpkin puree in the recipe.
- Experiment with spices like cardamom or allspice for a unique biscotti flavor.
