How to Make Biscotti?

After mixing the ingredients well, you’ll end up with a sticky dough, don’t worry, you can handle a wet dough is easy. Wetting your hand with cold water will help you form the dough into a rectangular shape effortlessly.

The word biscotti means (Baked twice) in Italian, However, you will have to bake these classic Italian biscotti three times.

The first time you will bake the long log you created from the dough, the second time is after slicing the long log into slices, the third time take place after you flip the slices to the other side.

I’ve used butter in this biscotti recipe, but you can use oil if you wish. I’m not sure why would anyone replace butter with oil when making these cookies and miss the rich flavor but it is your call!

Store Almond Biscotti Cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks, and that makes the biscotti cookies an ideal gift.
