Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon rose water
- 100 grams Turkish Delight (cut into small cubes)
- 50 grams unsalted pistachios (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the butter into small cubes and rub it into the dry ingredients using your fingertips, creating a crumbly texture.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and stir in the vanilla extract and rose water.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix until a dough begins to form.
Carefully fold in the Turkish Delight cubes and chopped pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log approximately 30 cm (12 inches) long and 7 cm (3 inches) wide.
Place the log onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove the log from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 150°C (300°F).
Using a serrated knife, slice the log into 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thick biscotti pieces. Lay the slices flat on the baking sheet.
Return the slices to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden.
Cool the Turkish Delight Biscotti completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
