Zucchini Biscotti
I ended up making this zucchini biscotti recently after my zucchini bread was looking more like a cookie, I tweeted and added to facebook and someone suggested biscotti. Genius idea so I sliced it up and popped it back into the oven and voila biscotti was born. I will provide recipe below but can't guarantee my fluke will work again :-)
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp all spice
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup canola oil or olive oil
- 1 cups light brown sugar or white
- 1 cup freshly grated zucchini, drained on a paper towel, I learned to use a few sheets of paper towel and drain well
Method:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees, line a small loaf pan with baking paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients.
- Beat together the eggs, oil and sugar and add dry ingredients (this is when I noticed the dough get very thick, the dry should have been lightly mixed in)
- mix in zucchini
- bake for one hr then allow to cool
- slice into 2 inch slices and bake again for 5-10 minutes
Have you had any baking fails that have turned into success stories?
Very inventive! I've never heard of zucchini biscotti, but it's a great way to save your bread!
ReplyDeleteFeeling nostalgic - I miss my zucchini patch in MN! Zucchini is not very common here (at least, I haven't seen them yet) and I didn't realize how much I missed it until now. I bet this would work great with a chocolate zuke bread!! 8-)
ReplyDeleteNow that's creative! My zucchini squash are doing surprisingly well in my garden patch; I may need to try this out. How are you feeling? Not much longer now!
ReplyDeletewow! That's brilliant... I wish my disasters turn into success too...
ReplyDeleteReally a genius idea the biscotti - just need to be in baking mood to try it soon :)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Gera
