Notice you can see the sugar on it, which is great. As the biscotti dries out during baking, you will also get these little cracks in the top. This is also totally normal and gives it a lovely rustic look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d11b2dad32a12b24087ba/1621289302645-PJ5B8PZPHOY4EI413SMK/4Cut+BiscottiCR.jpg Blog - Cinnamon Raisin Biscotti - Once the log has cooled, you can slice the cookies. Use a serrated knife and cut it into 1/2” slices. Line them up on your baking sheet and bake them the second time. This time is a lower temperature to make them a nice golden brown. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d11b2dad32a12b24087ba/1621289747628-EOFVLN0TVCVY2O9DLQ84/Biscotti-CinRaisin.jpg Blog - Cinnamon Raisin Biscotti - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d11b2dad32a12b24087ba/1621289269654-I4YEOI7QD39RINL1H1YX/2Shape+Logs.JPG Blog - Cinnamon Raisin Biscotti - Wet your hands when you shape the dough into a log. This picture has two logs because I made a larger batch but this recipe will result in just one. You don’t want to use flour to keep the dough from sticking, because you can dry out the dough. You may need to wet your hands again as you shape the dough. Once you brush the log with an egg wash, generously pour granulated sugar over the entire log. After its baked, you will have a nice glisten of sugar all around the log, and ultimately on the edges of each cookie. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d11b2dad32a12b24087ba/1622496013654-SSNBIBB8C02KYJWJTWTR/MJBakingThroughItAll.png Blog - Cinnamon Raisin Biscotti - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d11b2dad32a12b24087ba/1621288568894-GEBXPNYOMPSVJLOUIEVK/1Whipped+Eggs+Ribbon.JPG Blog - Cinnamon Raisin Biscotti - Once you have reached the right consistency and temperature, you are going to start whipping the mixture. I use my stand mixer to do it, but you can do the same with a hand mixer. If you are using a hand mixer, move it around a lot and use the whip attachment if you have one. You want to introduce air and make this mixture light.

Prepare In Pastry School, they teach us about Mise en Place - everything in its place. Before I start on any bake - for school or for myself - I use this preparation step so that I can bake without interruption or the constant run to the pantry for an ingredient I forgot. So before you combine, mix, or bake anything, read through the entire recipe, at least twice. Get a good feeling for what you will be doing. Then get all of your ingredients out, and measure them into separate bowls or containers (some can be combined if it makes sense based on the recipe). Then put away all the bags and containers so all you have in front of you are the premeasured ingredients and tools you need. This way, you simply follow the steps and can experience them, rather than running over to grab a different ingredient and then rummaging for a tablespoon before you can go on to the next step. I have found my baking much more relaxing since I started using this approach. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d11b2dad32a12b24087ba/1623630719042-UMVJURHH9VP5SJR3BDJJ/MJBakingThroughItAll.png Blog - Baking as a Mindful Practice - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d11b2dad32a12b24087ba/1623630201264-ZL9LK5SUX3CDSBQ5OSG0/unsplash-image-wPOV0W7ykxE.jpg Blog - Baking as a Mindful Practice - 4. Use Your Senses One of the best parts of baking is that you can experience it with all of your senses. Pause while you are creating your bake at each step to examine the consistency, the glossiness, and the color. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. What is the aroma of the mixture right now? As you are mixing, what do you hear? Does the mix slosh around the bowl or is it a stiff dough that you have the beat and bang about? And then there is the sense of touch. If there is a choice between using your hands or a spoon to mix a dough, always choose your hands. The best example of using the sense of touch in mindful baking is kneading bread. Really focus on what it feels like as you bring the dough together in a shaggy and lumpy mess. Then as you knead and work the dough, feel how it transforms into a smooth and elastic dough. The change in the dough that you create through your own touch is extremely satisfying to watch and feel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d11b2dad32a12b24087ba/1623629084805-64TNM5JDUUT3VT4SHAWM/unsplash-image-ie8WW5KUx3o.jpg Blog - Baking as a Mindful Practice - 1. Set an Intention Just like meditation, start your baking mindful practice by setting your intention for the project. Are you looking to clear your mind? Work out some nervous energy? Feel creative and productive? Simply make a delicious treat to share with friends and family? Take a moment before you begin to close your eyes, and either through pictures or words, decide on what you want to get out of this. You can picture the final product or your friends enjoying it. Or tell yourself, “Today, I will quiet the negativity and experience every step of this bake.” Setting your intention and putting it into concrete words and images will get you in the right frame of mind for what is to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d11b2dad32a12b24087ba/1623629868383-9GRBB9NMKVPUTC7RY43H/unsplash-image-5Hl5reICevY.jpg Blog - Baking as a Mindful Practice - 3. Take Your Time Allow yourself plenty of time to prepare and bake your product. Rushing through baking will not bring you joy and will likely cause more stress. So the times that you want to use baking as a mindful practice, block out enough time to enjoy the experience. Part of taking your time is focusing on the experience itself. Its not about the final product you are making, but the entire process of creating it. So you want to allow yourself time to experience each step and fully immerse yourself in it. https://www.bakingthroughitall.com/blog/flaky-pie-crust monthly 0.5 2021-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d11b2dad32a12b24087ba/1623712857108-9UF5IOD39ZTHFBBHQM1V/IMG_2654.jpg Blog -

When you start to roll, the dough will still be cold and slow to roll. So roll a little, as shown. It also helps to add some flour to the dough and the rolling pin. I usually flour my hand and wipe it on the pin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d11b2dad32a12b24087ba/1626972400956-JDMQE8C15VTJNN5Q9H3D/IMG_3110.jpg Blog - Strawberry-Blueberry Pie - Make it stand out Put the strips back up.

I’m Mary Jo. Call me MJ. Mom. Business Owner. Wife. Community Leader. Baker? 2020 was a tough year. For everyone. Everywhere. Like a lot of people, while we were hunkering down in March of 2020 due to COVID, I turned to baking and Netflix. And Netflix shows about baking. And baking while watching baking shows on Netflix. At first it was just effing Carol Baskin, but then I was entranced by Sugar Rush, The Chef Show, and of course, The Great British Bake-Off. It was fascinating to watch ingredients change depending how they were worked, what quantities were used, and even what order they were combined and blended. I worked in my kitchen making breads, cakes, rolls, and cupcakes. Treats that nourished and delighted my family, but also had an impact on my emotional state and wellbeing. Kneading breads became my therapy and the process of baking and creation was helping me get through the pandemic and every twist and turn it brought. I didn’t understand it then, but this started my journey to learn about mindful baking and using it to overcome a series of challenges thrown at me in 2020 and 2021. Car crashes, ER visits, elections, and cancer - and baking was there to see me all through it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604d11b2dad32a12b24087ba/1617420642333-SSKX9UV8KZ9LG84XBGV7/XmasBaking.jpg About Making Vdolky - or Czech Frycakes - for Christmas Eve 2019. https://www.bakingthroughitall.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-05-11
