Homemade Biscotti Recipe

My favorite biscotti recipe for an easy-to-make and yet delicious Italian-style biscotti. The twice-baked biscuit is ideal for dipping in tea or coffee.

Biscotti are made with simple ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and almond essence. Biscotti are easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and toppings. This recipe for classic biscotti is a great place to start. Once you have mastered the basics, you can experiment with different flavors and toppings to create your own unique biscotti.

Here are some tips for making biscotti:

  • Use good quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your biscotti.
  • Preheat your oven and use parchment paper. This will help your biscotti bake evenly.
  • Bake the biscotti for the full amount of time. If you don’t, they will be soft and chewy.
  • Let the biscotti cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.
  • Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

The biscotti can keep for up to 2 weeks in a sealed container but mine, which I bake, seldom last longer than 2 days before they are all finished.

Once you have the hang of the basic biscotti recipe above you should experiment with adding nuts, raisins, and different flavors to produce your own signature biscotti biscuits.
