John Whaite's pistachio and rosemary biscotti recipe
- 125 g (4.4oz) plain flour
- 75 g (2.6oz) caster sugar
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 1 large orange, zest only
- 50 g (1.8oz) dried apricots, roughly chopped
- 80 g (2.8oz) pistachio kernels, roughly chopped
- 1 sprig rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- Preheat the oven to 180C/gas mark 4.
- Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, orange zest, apricots, pistachios and rosemary in a mixing bowl and stir together so that everything is evenly dispersed.
- Beat the egg with the milk using a whisk, and pour this into the bowl.
- Bring everything together into a dough using your hands.
- Grab the ingredients and squeeze them together, then, when the mixture forms a rough dough, knead it gently for a minute.
- Roll the dough into a long fat sausage, about 23cm long, then place it on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until light golden-brown, then remove from the oven and slice into 1cm-thick pieces using a sharp serrated knife.
- Put these slices back on the baking sheet and back into the oven, turning the oven down to 130C and baking for 15 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely before eating.
