Peanut Butter & Bacon Biscotti - Doggie Biscotti


 Ingredients:

 
4 cups pastry flour or unbleached flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
4 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup filtered water
 
1.) Preheat oven to 325o F.
 
2.) Measure the flour, baking powder and bacon into a mixing bowl.  Stir until combined.
 
3.) Combine the peanut butter and water in a glass measuring cup and stir until smooth and creamy.  Make a well in the center of the flour and put in the peanut butter mixture.  Mix on medium speed until just combined.
 
4.) Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a flat disc.  Place the disc on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.  Using a rolling pin flatten the disc out to 1/2 inch thick.
 
5.) Bake 18-25 minutes or until the biscotti is dry and firm to the touch.  Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Cut the dough into 1/4 inch strips and then once again into 1/2 inch cubes.  Separate the cubes and return the pan to the oven to bake for another 15-20 minutes.
 

6.) When done cool on a baking rack and then store in a cookie jar.
