I learned the hard way that not everyone shares my appreciation for the delicate intricacies of a crispy biscotti. I don't want to go so far as to say that those people are wrong BUT I do question their sanity. (Just kidding) Perhaps biscotti is an acquired taste like that of a fine wine or complex coffee. I'm not here to debate the issue but I really do not understand what it is about biscotti that people don't seem to like. They're crunchy, they're crispy, they're sweet, they're delightful. They go great with a morning cup of coffee, they make a perfect afternoon snack and a wonderful little dessert. I can think of no other food that is quite as versatile. Chocolate Biscotti 2 cups (280g) flour 3/4 cups (75g) cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon table salt 4 large eggs 1 cup (200g) sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
Add wet ingredients to mixing bowl and beat until combined. Shape dough into 2 logs and place on silpat (or parchment paper) lined baking sheet. Bake 25 minutes at 350. Let cool slightly. Cut into 1/2 inch slices. Place slices on baking sheet and bake 10 minutes. Turning once. Chocolate biscotti. How in the world could people NOT like this stuff? I'm not going to give up my mission to try and convert biscotti haters into biscotti lovers. I packaged some of my biscotti into Christmas gift worthy packages. Ciao!
