Title: Cheese Biscotti
Categories: Snacks, Biscotti
Yield: 20 Servings
1/2 c Unsalted butter; softened
1 tb Sugar
2 lg Eggs
1 c Sharp cheddar cheese; shred
2 1/4 c All-purpose flour
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Ground red pepper
Heat oven to 325~. In large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, beat
butter, sugar and eggs and cheese until well mixed. Reduce mixer speed to
low. Gradually beat in 1 cup flour, the baking powder, salt and red pepper.
Beat in enough of the remaining flour until a soft dough forms. With a
wooden spoon, stir in more flour until a stiff dough forms. Divide dough in
half and place both halves about 3" apart on a lightly greased baking
sheet. Shape each into a 9 1/2" log, about 1" high and 2" wide. Bake 30
minutes or until firm and olden brown. Remove logs from oven and reduce
temperature to 300~. Transfer logs to a cutting board. While they are still
warm, using a serrated knife, carefully cut each log diagonally into 1/2"
thick slices. Arrange slices, cut sides down, on the baking sheet and bake
15-20 minutes or until slices are dried but not browned, turning over each
slice once. Cool and store in airtight container.
