If you enjoy relaxing with a cup of coffee and a small snack, this biscotti recipe is what you need. Basic biscotti dough is baked twice to create crunchy, dunkable cookies that satisfy any sweet cravings while not being too sugary. Biscotti store very well when baked properly, so you can make a bunch and have enough to last for weeks.<\/p>\n
Biscotti started as a travel food during the Roman Empire. People would bake dry sticks of dough that weren’t very sweet but that lasted a long time and provided some nutrition. That type of biscotti fell in popularity when the Roman Empire fell, but when an Italian baker brought the recipe back centuries later, biscotti recipes started becoming sweeter. Eventually, the basic almond biscotti was joined by several different flavors, and today, it remains a favorite snack of many. Biscotti is meant to be hard and ready to be dunked in coffee, tea, wine or milk. No matter your choice, you’ll love sitting back and having one of these biscotti on a break.<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. Cream the butter with 1 cup of the sugar for five to seven minutes or until it is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly, and then stir in the anise extract. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in another bowl, and then gradually add this mixture into the creamed mixture. Blend the mixtures well, and then stir in the chopped almonds.<\/p>\n Line a large baking sheet with foil, and then grease the foil. Divide the dough into two portions and place them on the foil. Shape each into a 12×3-inch rectangle. Brush the tops of both rectangles with milk, and then sprinkle the rest of the sugar over each.<\/p>\n Bake the rectangles for 15 to 20 minutes until they’re golden brown and feel firm. Lift the foil and place the rectangles on the foil on a wire rack, where you’ll let them cool for about 15 minutes. Turn the oven temperature down to 300\u00b0.<\/p>\n Move the cooled rectangles to a cutting board, and cut them into diagonal slices that are 1\/2-inch thick. Use a serrated knife for best results. Place each slice cut side down on an ungreased baking sheet.<\/p>\n Bake the slices for 10 minutes; turn the slices over and bake for another 10 minutes. Place the slices on a wire rack to let them cool. Once they’re ready, store them in an airtight container.<\/p>\n Plain biscotti can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container; line an airtight metal tin with parchment paper, place some biscotti on the paper, and then add a second layer of parchment on top before adding a second layer of biscotti. Store the tin at room temperature for about a week.<\/p>\n Yes, any biscotti that you haven’t eaten in a week should be frozen. Wrap the biscotti (you can do this with single cookies or a few bundled together) in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe, airtight container. Eat within two months. While biscotti that are very dry can last a long time, humidity and freezer burn can both take their toll on the cookies.<\/p>\n No. Biscotti are meant to be baked twice (the name itself is derived from words meaning twice-baked). If you slice the unbaked dough, the biscotti won’t have very good form, and all the sides will be thicker and relatively tough. Yes, biscotti are usually hard, but the texture would be very different. If you try to bake the dough first and slice afterward, the dough will be too hard, and each slice will be messy, if not broken into pieces.<\/p>\n The extra points and sharp edges of a serrated knife make it easier to cut through baked dough without tearing it apart. Also, try using a slow sawing motion when cutting, instead of simply pressing down, which can pull on the dough.<\/p>\n The biscotti need to be cooled completely before you store them. If they’re warm at all, that warmth will soften them in storage. You can re-crisp them by baking them for 10 to 15 minutes at 300\u00b0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Take a break and have some coffee or tea with one of these tasty biscotti.

I've made this biscotti for years, well actually not this recipe, but the ORIGINAL Memorable Biscotti recipe, as it was published years ago in the Taste Recipes magazine. WHY IN THE WORLD WAS IT CHANGED??? It was perfect the way it was. The original called for 3 cups of AP flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of butter, 3 eggs, 1 tsp. of both vanilla and anise extract, 1 T. baking powder, 1\/2 tsp. salt, 1 cup of chopped almonds. (I've always had to add about an extra 1\/2 cup of flour.) Also, the temperatures were changed...why, I can't imagine. The original instructions were to start it at 300\u2070 and increase to 325\u2070, (although I start mine at 325\u2070 and increase to 350\u2070.) and the first bake was for 35 minutes. How can they just change someone's recipe, and not for the better? It should be changed back to the original!

I think next time I will go with three cups of flour and add a little extra if needed. Smelling and looking good.

Dough was perfect for handling. Instead of using foil as recipe states, I lined baking sheets with parchment paper and placed dough directly on paper to form the loaf. Can't really rate this particular recipe as I have not tried it Thus the 1 star. I guess this is more of a suggestion to avoid some of problems stated by reviewers.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":1,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"title":"Almond Biscotti","description":"Check out this video for how to make Almond Biscotti","url":"https:\/\/videodam.tmbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AlmondBiscotti_DIYD_1_H.mp4","duration":"129.00","mime_type":"video\/mp4","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/videodam.tmbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Almond-Biscotti_EXPS_HCBZ19_1_B05_14_2b.jpg","advertising":true,"jw_id":"1UUmH71o","jw_url":"https:\/\/cdn.jwplayer.com\/videos\/1UUmH71o-Uot7Fvi8.mp4","jw_thmub_url":"https:\/\/cdn.jwplayer.com\/v2\/media\/1UUmH71o\/poster.jpg?width=720","jw_publish_date":"10\/29\/2019"},"rms_legacy_id":"1","romance_copy_dek":"Take a break and have some coffee or tea with one of these tasty biscotti.
