Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 24

Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for baking sheet
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup walnut halves
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush a baking sheet with oil. In a medium bowl, whisk together both flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt; stir in walnuts and raisins. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla. Add to flour mixture; stir just until combined.

    Step 2

    On a lightly floured surface, with floured hands, pat dough into a loaf about 1 inch thick, 2 1/2 inches wide, and 7 inches long; transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake until risen and firm, 20 to 25 minutes; remove from oven and let cool completely on sheet. Reduce oven to 300°F.

    Step 3

    Transfer loaf to a cutting board, and using a serrated knife, cut diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices; place slices in a single layer on sheet. Bake, turning once, until dried and slightly golden, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Transfer sheet to a wire rack and let cool completely. Biscotti can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
