Well, Dorie, we all can't have a good day in the kitchen, I guess. This week's
Tuesdays with Dorie challenge was biscotti. Mine didn't turn out, plain and simple. It never really formed a ball. This is what the dough looked like after the first 15 min. in the oven. I think I should have left it in longer. From here, Dorie said to cut them into smaller pieces and stand them like a marching band on the cookie sheet and bake longer. I don't know what she was smoking...but there was no way that was going to happen with my dough. For the recipe, visit Gretchen at
Canela & Comino.
In the end, this is what I had. They are actually very tasty and very cookie-like. Not as hard as typical biscotti. The recipe itself is great....I just need to try it again. You can see I added dried cranberries and chopped almonds. Check out the link to TWD above to see some successful TWD bakers!
Looks just like mine! :) Glad it tasted good even though it wasn't crunchy!
ReplyDeleteThey look great.
ReplyDeleteMine were softer than what I had imagined them to be, but they were so good.
Sorry they just didn't quite turn out for you. Thinking back, I don't think mine ever turned into a ball either. I do hope you try them again!
ReplyDeleteyour final product looks good! I had a bad week last week--it happens to us all!
ReplyDeleteI think they look good. Just like mine. We'll get better if we make them again, but truly, yours look fine!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, mine were a bit soft too! But soooo good!
ReplyDeleteI had the same underbaking problem. They turned out delicious, though.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the taste, I think. Better luck next week.
ReplyDeleteAs one TWDer told me, its the taste that counts and if you liked the taste, then they were a success.Cranberry and nuts. Yummy!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the addition of cranberries. I'm sorry they didn't turn-out like you expected, lookswise. But at least they tasted great!
ReplyDeleteToo bad they didn't turn out, but they look great!
