A rather different, but tasty nonetheless biscotti recipe with whole wheat spelt, and chocolate-flavoured red wine. Caraway seeds and black pepper have added a flirtatious spicy twist that compliments a glass of powerful Châteauneuf-du-Pape perfectly.
Recipe adapted from Too Much Food
- 360 g Whole wheat spelt
- 1/2 tbsp Baking powder
- 40 g Caster sugar
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 3/4 tsp Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp Caraway seeds
- 300 ml Chocolate flavoured red wine
- 1/2 Egg white, lightly beaten
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Mix together whole wheat spelt flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, black pepper and caraway seeds in a large bowl.
- Pour in red wine and olive oil. Mix until smooth. Divide dough in half and shape two logs, 10 inches long and 3 inches wide. Brush the tops with egg white.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 93C/200F. Slice each log into 1/2-inch-wide slices with a serrated knife.
- Arrange slices, cut side down, on same baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes. Turn biscotti over halfway in between. Transfer to rack and cool.

Very different, I love it. But in all honesty, anything with the word wine in it and I'm IN! Great photos. :)
Yum, I love biscotti, especially with a small glass of sweet wine ;) I'm going to buy some spelt flour now, and will make these together with your rolled spelt cookies.

I'm definitely pro-flirtatious twist :) Lovely biscotti!
What wonderful photography you have for this post. The biscotti look absolutely scrumptious, especially with the pairing. Great post!
These look amazing! The chocolate flavored red wine is such a unique ingredient.
Angie - these look great! Biscotti is a favourite in our home and spelt flour has beautiful baking properties. The caraway seeds are very interesting... all paired with chocolate flavoured red wine - love it!

What a brilliant idea for a biscotti base, Angie. The photos are beautiful, too. I haven't meant to have been so neglectful - just so so so much on my plate I am so far behind. (Wedding)

Biscotti with chocolate flavored wine..... just rock and very rhythmically presented!
Ok, I'm hooked already and I haven't even had one!! YUM! I didn't even know there was such a thing as chocolate flavored wine... Need to find that for sure!
something new!
wow amazing combo love it
A new biscotti, different from the usual ones! I love it. A friend gave me a packet of biscotti recently and it's so good dunked in coffee. I have to try making. Looks simple.
red wine in biscotti? this is too good to be true! I like your presentation too Angie. Very cute!

I've never made (or eaten) a biscotti made with red wine. Creative!
Annie excelentes biscottis,se ven maravillosos y muy tentadores,abrazos grandes.
Looking at the photos, I am sure they are very tasty...lovely photography:)
I love biscotti, but have really only had them with coffee. This combo looks fantastic.
Biscotti with red wine sounds like a good match to me!
A savory biscotti is a great change from the sweet ones I usually bake. Your photos are beautiful.
usually, I dip my biscotti in coffee... I better try it in red wine...
havent heard of choc flavoured red wine, this recipe sounds intriguing to me!
Such an unusual sweet and savory biscotti, Angie. Love the crispiness, and the fact that it was made with such a healthy spelt flour. Would love to dip this into a nice glass of fruity red wine...for me this would be the preferance, instead of a dessert wine!
What a unique flavor profile for biscotti...they looks wonderful :)
