Double Chocolate Sourdough Biscotti

Double Chocolate Sourdough Biscotti- Jennifer at Purposeful Nutrition posted at the Grain Mill Wagon Challenge

I love biscotti, especially chocolate biscotti.  My sister in law came up with this amazing version of a double chocolate sourdough biscotti and I eagerly made my first batch.  It was a hit all around and will become a staple in our house.  I love sourdough because it is easy to work with and it is so much healthier for us than regular baked goods.  The sourdough allows the gluten in the grain to break down so it is much more gentle on the digestive system.

In this recipe I used a gluten free flour mix of my own as I have some gluten free family members. I mixed buckwheat, ground in the Wondermill, sorghum flour and tapioca starch.   But any flour will work.

By now I have been using my Wondermill for awhile and I am really enjoying it.  As I said in an earlier post it is quiet and clean and easy to set up and clean up.
