Almond Cherry Biscotti with Citrus
Italian for “biscuit,” biscotti are twice baked for extra crispiness.
Servings
12 Servings
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup canola oil
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon or orange zest
- 2½ cups white whole-wheat flour spooned into measuring cups and leveled
- ½ cup dried cherries
- ½ cup slivered almonds toasted
- canola oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- With a mixer, beat canola oil, sugar, baking powder and baking soda on medium speed until combined. Beat in eggs and zest. Reduce to low speed, gradually adding flour, and beat to a coarse meal texture. (Dough will be fairly dry at this point.)
- Add cherries and almonds. Using a spoon, blend thoroughly. Knead slightly and shape into two logs that are 9 inches long, ½ inch high, and 2 inches wide.
- Coat a large nonstick baking sheet with canola oil cooking spray and place logs on baking sheet.
- Bake at 375°F for 18 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on baking sheet 20 minutes. Gently remove and place on a cutting board.
- Reduce heat to 325°F. Using a serrated knife, carefully cut each roll crosswise, and on a diagonal, into 12 slices. Place slices cut-side down on baking sheet, and bake 9 minutes on each side or until crisp and light brown. Place baking sheet on a wire rack and cool completely.
- Tip: Let biscotti stand 4 hours to allow flavors to blend. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze. Dried cranberries can be substituted for dried cherries and pistachios for almonds.

Will make a note and see what we can do.
When using rice flour in baking you need to use other ingredients to compensate for the lack of gluten, but I don’t know exactly what you would need.
sorry Esther, no we can’t ship a grill to Israel.
hello, may Israeli’s enter contest for grill. thanks for all the recipes. esther adler
I would like to try the Biscotti with citrus recipe with rice flour instead of white whole wheat. Are there any changes I would have to make in the ingredient list?
i get your nice emails (lots of them!) Is it possible to have a print card option? 3×5, or 4×6 etc? w/o the ads of course
thanx that would be a huge improvement and convenience.
