Step-by-Step Instructions for Gingerbread Biscotti
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium jug, combine whole milk, vegetable oil, brown sugar, and treacle. Whisk until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the plain flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and grated nutmeg.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until combined to form a soft dough.
  5. Divide the dough into two portions and shape each into a log about 2 inches wide. Place on the prepared baking tray.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool for 20 minutes.
  7. Carefully slice the logs into 1-inch thick pieces while still warm using a serrated knife.
  8. Return the slices to the baking tray and bake again for at least 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  9. Allow to cool completely. If desired, melt white chocolate and dip the ends of the biscotti.
