see this super glossy y yellow color and
smell the scent of a lemon makes me very
happy all right raw
almond the one or 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of
almond extra give a good
mix and lastly let’s add instead of a a
dry cranberry that’s more traditionally
Italian buscatti using dry cranberry but
I don’t have any at home so now I’m just
going to use rasins to replace the dry
cranberry mix them all
together this way when we bake the
basati the almonds and raisins will not
burn by mix them into the wet
ingredients right now okay the wet
ingredients is complete next we’re going
to do dry ingredients 2 teaspoon baking
powder allpurpose flour half teaspoon of
nutmeg half teaspoon of salt sier this
[Music]
through there you go and then give a
well mix combine all ingredients
[Music]
together
sticky this is a sticky sticky dough and
now we’re going to transfer this to
working surface that’s some flour
because it’s really really sticky
dough and that’s a little more flour on
the surface top of the dough just a
shaping
[Music]
into a
log we’re going to separate this dough
to two
portions and shaping both portions into
a
log that’s good shaping the second one
into a log as
well
transfer onto the
[Music]
tray when you bake it will spread out so
much so make sure you have enough of
space in between those two logs I have
already preheat oven to 325 fah so now
make sure there’s a distance between two
dough and before going oven my oven is
preheating 325 we’re going to brush with
with egg wash evenly to give that shine
this is so fun to make basca
again so this is one egg mixed with a
two tbspoon of
water
excellent and now they’re ready for oven
325 Fahrenheit deg and we’re going to
bake for about 35 minutes that’s a first
bake just learned the word basati in
Italian meaning baked twice so the first
bake is 35 minutes all right basati in
oven there’s a 1 minute more to go and
then we’ll remove from the oven and cut
it divide them going for a second bake
okay guys check this out after first
round of baking about 35 minutes it
turns out super pretty and brown now we
need to cut it divide them into strip of
bses and let them cool before we do the
second round of
[Music]
baking so use bread knife to slice
basati to evenly portion and replace
them on the baking tray upright like
this then we’re going to send this tree
in to bake second time about 20 minutes
only keep watch for eye once you see
basati turn to Golden Brown and that is
time to take them out of the oven the
reason we bake second time is because if
you only bake once they will still but
if you bake second time you can keep
them in the cookie jar for
weeks they’re looking so good okay I’m
going to pop them into oven again for 20
minutes oh my God just take a look at
this this is absolutely
beautiful so perfect I’m really really
happy beautiful
