Italian Olive Oil Biscuits with pine nuts
Equipment
- 2 medium large bowls
- 1 baking spatula
- 1 grater
- 2 tablespoons
- 1 fork
- 1 Rolling Pin
- 1 baking dish
- optional baking paper
Ingredients
- 1 sachet lievito Paneangeli for bread, pizza and focaccia or 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 200 gr flour 00
- 20 gr pine nuts
- 50 gr parmesan or pecorino cheese grated
- salt and pepper
- rosemary - dry or fresh
- 1 medium egg
- 80 ml Belmorso Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
- Add dry ingredients to a bowl, including the seasoning, and mix well.
- Slowly add the extra virgin olive oil into the dry mixture, and mix well.
- Then, beat the egg and add that too. Mix again until a dough ball forms.
- You can let it rest or proceed immediately.
- Try to roll the dough into a square shape, about 3 cm thick, if you want fingers style biscuits; otherwise, you can use a cookie cutter. You can also shape into balls and press with your finger each one.
- Cut the square into 9 biscuits or 12 or shape them into balls like I did.
- Layer on your baking dish, covered with baking paper or greased with EVOO.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven for 15 minutes at 170 degrees Celsius.
