Cinnamon and Raisin Biscotti
1 large egg
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup raisins
½ cup whole almonds, toasted
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Using a stand mixer, combine and beat the egg and sugar until thick and lemony in color. Add vanilla. Sift in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Blend well. Mix in the raisins and almonds.
Turn the dough out of the mixer onto the work surface. Knead gently for 2 minutes to combine the ingredients. Shape dough into a log that is about 12 inches long by 2½ inches wide. Transfer to lined sheet pan. Flatten the top of log slightly with hands, tapering towards the edge.
Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 15 minutes.
Using a serrated knife, cut the log crosswise, at a diagonal, into 1/3-inch wide slices. Arrange the slices on the baking sheet and bake for 4 minutes. Turn slices over and bake another 4 minutes.
Cool biscotti on the baking sheet. Serve when cool.

In a mixing bowl, beat the ricotta until it is creamy. Add the eggs, prosciutto, grated Romano, mozzarella and parsley. Beat to combine.
“This recipe is enough to stuff 12 manicotti tubes. Give it a try. There’s a creaminess and a saltiness to it that your customers are sure to find pleasing when cooler Fall weather hits.” — PT Editors

Brazilian Dessert Pizza
Doug Ferriman
Crazy Dough’s, Boston, MA
12-inch pizza dough
4 ounces guava paste
3 pinches sugar
10 ounces mozzarella cheese
2 ounces Brazilian Catupiry soft cheese
With a small, round cookie cutter, take the guava paste and cut into thick circles about the size of pepperoni. Slice these more thinly, if necessary, to resemble pepperoni. Place the guava paste circles in a bowl and toss with three pinches of sugar. Set aside.
Place 10 ounces of mozzarella cheese on the shell and cook about 90 percent of the way.
Remove from the oven and, using a piping bag, add the Brazilian Catupiry soft cheese in a checkerboard pattern. Place the guava slices around the pizza like pepperoni and cook the pizza the last 10 percent until golden and ready to serve.

Oregano Vinaigrette
8 cups red vinegar
4 cups Dijon mustard
4 cups sugar
1 cup oregano, chopped
1 cup thyme, chopped
8 cups extra virgin olive oil
Mix in food processor for 60 seconds.
