Baking: Pumpkin Biscotti

So I'm not a big pumpkin or biscotti fan, but my husband is. So the other day I did a search and found the perfect recipe for Pumpkin Biscotti and wanted to share it with you.

Pumpkin Biscotti

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups of flour
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
Pinch of ginger
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and spices into a large bowl.

2. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture. Give it a rough stir to gently incorporate the ingrediets, the dough will be crumbly.

3. Flour your hands and a clean surface and lightly knead the dough. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Form the dough into a large log, roughly about 15-20 inches by 6-7 inches. The loaves should be relatively flat, only about 1/2 inch high. Bake for 22-30 mintues at 350 F, until the center is firm to the touch.

4. Let biscotti cool for 15 minutes and then using a serrrated knife cut into 1 inch wide pieces. Turn the oven to 300 F and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Cool completely.

5. Serve and Enjoy!
