Biscotti

Biscotti are crisp Italian biscuits (or cookies) that get their signature crispness from being baked twice. This recipe pulls together in a few minutes and after that second bake you have a wonderful crisp cookie to enjoy with your morning coffee! You can add cranberries, a drizzle of chocolate or amost anythig else to maek these cookies your own.

I love how he just gets into the recipe instead of talking for like five minutes and then doing the recipe

I like adding orange zest and dried cranberries along with the slivered almonds. Always only during my great Christmas bake. Divine!

My Italian grandmother and aunts made biscotti all my growing up years into my adulthood. I have been making biscotti for many years now. Our recipe has anise extract and slivered almonds. I have experimented through the years, and I like vanilla and crushed walnut biscotti better than the anise biscotti. Today I'm going to try cardamon, vanilla, crushed walnut biscotti. I love watching your videos. You have such a pleasant way about yourself! You brighten my day!

Fun fact: in Italy we call these "cantucci" (kan-too-ceeh). We call biscotti (bis-koh-ttee) every type of biscuits. Also, biscotti literally means "baked twice" (bis-twice, cotti-cooked).

I like making lemon biscotti with a white chocolate drizzle, perfect for tea or snack time.
I made a pumpkin biscotti that was so yummy!

What did the intergalactic cookie say to the other intergalactic cookie?

I absolutely love biscotti! It’s such a lovely treat. Besides almonds, I love aniseed and pumpkin seeds. All 3 at once, 1 and a time, or any combination is lovely. I also coat an edge in very dark chocolate.

I like cranberries and pistachios with orange extract. Yum. Thank you for this video!

Lovely fabulous presentation and love the pronununced P on crisp. I would suggest just rolling into logs. The dough will spread out a bit. Then slice on the diagonal. I've also just tried adding orange zest and dried cranberries. I will try this one with butter as it's a bit different.

I never realized how EASY it is to make biscotti! BTW... I never use a mixer, just throw everything into one bowl and mix by hand . So easy, less mess-clean up. They come out beautifully! Thanks for the perfect recipe John! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!

I’m Italian. It’s pronounced bis caught tee. We make tons and tons of these. Normally flavored with anise and aniseeds. My personal favorite.

PEEERFECT! We give you a perfect 10. We followed your recipe exactly but used the Gluten free 1- to-1 flour and Ener-G baking powder to avoid the use of baking powder (which can mess up our kidneys because it's sodium bicarbonate). It turned out PERFECT 😊. Now my little one is willing to eat the zwieback (twice baked in German) breads that I make😁. Thank you very much. By the way I used the flaxseed "eggs" and coconut palm sugar since we are total plant based. They did turn out a little brown because of the coconut plam sugar, but it was delicious all the same.😊

First time making biscotti and it turned out perfect! Thanks for the awesome recipe

[justelementt]

Just made it and it is delicious! I used less granulated sugar and less almonds. Used a pinch more brown sugar and added dried cranberries. delicious...Thank you so much for your amazingly easy to follow recipes and videos, I am sure it is a lot of work.

I absolutely love adding white chocolate, cranberries, and orange peel. It's divine

[loiskopf]

I remember making these a lot (without the nuts) when the children were small. I used them as teething biscuits. Sometimes I double baked sticks of banana bread. I always dipped the bottoms of some in dark chocolate for me. You have been a godsend during quarantine. So many of your savory recipes are delicious.

I love love all the fall baking but i am oh so excited for your christmas/holiday baking!

[PluckyDuckling]

I love the way you say Crisp! It makes it sound like fall! I bet these are better than the stale brick like ones that haunt the cafes....
