Artful Baker: Extraordinary Desserts From an Obsessive Home Baker

Product Information

Do steer clear of the boxed instant salep mixes (usually with a photo of a steaming cup on the front) — these contain the smallest amount of pure salep needed to include it on the label and are loaded with starches and thickeners. The Artful Baker’s small team hand craft their Italian-inspired double-baked biscotti in Dorset and pride themselves on “crafting the unexpected”.

All Biscotti

The dough will keep, double-wrapped with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. If not, gradually pulse in the remaining 2 tablespoons of water-vinegar until the dough holds together when squeezed.I’ve been an artist for many years, trying to capture the detail and beauty of nature and eventually completing a graduate degree in medical/scientific illustration.

According to the Dorset artisan bakery, the 6-strong selection not only provides the perfect building blocks for growth, but will act as the perfect springboard for ‘next stage’ biscuit development beyond biscotti. It is the first of several investments that the 50:50 joint venture with independent business accelerator Mission Ventures expects to make this year, it said.Sour Cherry and Dark Chocolate: Wow, what an assault of sweetness to the senses compared to The Artful Baker’s other biscotti offerings. Center the dough over a 10-inch fluted pie dish that is 2 1/2 inches deep, easing it across the bottom and up the sides without pressing the edges onto the sides of the dish. Granted I could definitely smell and taste the sundried tomato as the strongest flavour, but the small pieces of olives throughout I actually rather enjoyed too.
