What is Biscotti?

Biscotti literally means twice-baked bread.  The dough is formed into a long log and baked for about 35 minutes.  The log is then sliced into 3/4-inch slices which are arranged on a baking sheet flat side down and rebaked for about 10 minutes.  Twice-baked!!  

Biscotti Tips:

  • Using a serrated knife makes slicing easier.  Especially with the hazelnuts and chocolate chips.  
  • If using salted butter reduce the salt to 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Dipping in chocolate is completely optional 
  • Milk chocolate chips can be used in place of semi-sweet.
  • Any nut works great in this recipe.  Feel free to use walnuts, pecans, almonds, or pistachio nuts.  
  • If omitting chocolate chips, use 3/4 cups chopped nuts

How to Shape and Bake 

  • The dough should be firm enough to form into a log with floured hands.  Divide the dough in half then shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet (alternative: Butter and flour baking sheet).  Form a log that is approximately 12-inches long and 2-inches wide.  Slighted flatten the top of the log.  
  • Bake in a preheated 350℉ oven for 35 minutes or until slightly firm to the touch. 

Cool the biscotti logs on their baking sheet for approximately 10 minutes turning each slice once.

Slicing Biscotti and the Second Bake

Carefully lift the slightly cooled long onto a cutting board.  Using a serrated knife slice into 3/4-inch slices on a diagonal.

Place each biscotti cut side down on the same baking sheet.  Return to the oven and bake an additional 10 minutes.  Cool completely before dipping or drizzling with melted chocolate, which is optional but is so delicious.  Store in a tin or other airtight container.  I store my biscotti in a cool basement storage room.  They will keep beautifully for at least 2-3 weeks.

Gift Giving

 Biscotti are such pretty cookies, and make great gifts for coffee lovers, tea lovers, hot chocolate lovers, and cookie lovers! So, basically, everyone!
