Method
Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- Place the walnuts in a small skillet with a pinch of flour and toast over heat for about 1 minute.Timers: 1 min
- Transfer the toasted walnuts to a food processor and pulse just once to break them — you want pieces, not a fine grind.
- After breaking the walnuts, divide them into two portions. Place the first portion in a deep bowl.
- Add the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and baking soda to the walnuts and mix well.
- Gradually add the egg whites to the walnut mixture.
- Mix until you obtain a dough. If the egg whites aren't enough to bind the mixture, add the teaspoons of water one at a time. Add the first teaspoon and, if the mixture holds together as a single dough, stop and don’t add the second.
- Divide the formed dough into two portions.
- Sprinkle the remaining chopped walnuts over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased with oil or butter.
- Spread the first portion of dough over the walnuts, shaping it into a rectangle.
- Repeat the same with the second portion of dough.
- Bake the two biscotti logs in a preheated oven at 170°C for 15 minutes.Timers: 15 min
- After the time is up, remove the walnut biscotti from the oven and cut each log lengthwise into slices.
- Arrange the biscotti slices flat on the baking sheet over the parchment paper so each piece lies flat.
- Return the biscotti to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and crisp.Timers: 15 min
- Remove from the oven and serve, or store them in an airtight container so they don’t become too hard.
