Whole Wheat Biscotti

Biscotti - I love them and I have tried many different recipes with limited success. Finally after lot of permutations and combinations I have finally mastered the basic recipe.

Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 egg
6 tbsp of sugar
Few drops of vanilla essence
Crushed nuts (optional)
Chocolate chips (optional)

Mix the egg, sugar and vanilla essence and whisk it till the mixture becomes light yellow. If you have a hand mixer, it will be a lot easier
Slowly add the dry ingredient (wheat flour, baking soda and salt) into the egg mixture and mix it into a dough.
The mixture is very sticky. Add nuts and chocolate chips.
Place the mixture in a baking pan in a single mound and flatten it. Be careful the mixture is very sticky.
Bake the mixture at 350C for 15 min. The mixture will bake and should have a slight brown color on the outside. Afterwards remove from the oven and cut the baked mixture into biscotti. This recipe makes about 6-8 biscotti.
Now you can keep the biscotti back in the oven and let it rest to make it crunchy. I just use the residual heat in the oven for this part.
If you want soft biscotti, do not keep them back in the oven.
That's it, you will be done in less than half an hour!
