A rather different, but tasty nonetheless biscotti recipe with whole wheat spelt, and chocolate-flavoured red wine. Caraway seeds and black pepper have added a flirtatious spicy twist that compliments a glass of powerful Châteauneuf-du-Pape perfectly.

Recipe adapted from Too Much Food

• 360 g Whole wheat spelt
  
• 1/2 tbsp Baking powder
  
• 40 g Caster sugar
  
• 1/8 tsp Salt
  
• 3/4 tsp Freshly cracked black pepper
  
• 1 tbsp Caraway seeds
  
• 300 ml Chocolate flavoured red wine
  
• 1/2 Egg white, lightly beaten
  

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Mix together whole wheat spelt flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, black pepper and caraway seeds in a large bowl.
   
2. Pour in red wine and olive oil. Mix until smooth. Divide dough in half and shape two logs, 10 inches long and 3 inches wide. Brush the tops with egg white.
   
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 93C/200F. Slice each log into 1/2-inch-wide slices with a serrated knife.
   
4. Arrange slices, cut side down, on same baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes. Turn biscotti over halfway in between. Transfer to rack and cool.
