  • 85 grams of chocolate

Preparation method:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Get a flat tray and line it with baking paper.

Coarsely chop and toast the almonds. In a bowl, mix the espresso, milk, egg, and vanilla. Beat the mixture with a whisk.

Step 3

In a mixer bowl, beat the flour, sugar, yeast, baking powder, salt, and dry spices together on low speed until well mixed. Gradually add the liquid mixture while continuing to beat. Add the almonds and chocolate, forming a sticky dough.

Step 4

Remove the dough from the mixer and place it on a well-floured surface. Divide it into two equal parts and shape each part into a cylinder that is 25 cm long and 5 cm wide. Place the cylinders on the tray, leaving about 5 cm of space between them.

Step 5

Bake at 170 degrees for approximately 35 minutes using the fan setting. Once the biscotti bars are ready, leave them on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool. When they are completely cool, use a sharp serrated knife to cut them diagonally into slices that are 2 cm thick.

Lay the biscotti slices flat and bake for an additional 5 minutes to dry and crisp them. Then, flip them over and bake for another 5 minutes.

Preparation method:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180ºC (356ºF) with both top and bottom heat, and take out the baking tray from the oven.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside for later.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the egg with the sugar and dextrose until well combined.

Step 4

Now, add the ingredients from the first bowl (flour, baking powder, salt, etc.) and mix well with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth mixture.

Step 5

With your hands, continue kneading the dough until it becomes compact and free of lumps. It might be sticky at first, but it will become easier to handle.

Step 6

Add the almonds to the dough and knead them in. They might break or separate from the skin, but that’s okay. Keep kneading until you have a ball with all the almonds incorporated.

Step 7

Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape them into cylinders that are approximately 2 cm high and 4 or 5 cm wide. Brush them with the egg yolk.

Step 8

Place the cylinders on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake them for around 25 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the cylinders from the oven, let them cool for a couple of minutes to avoid burning, and then cut them into diagonal slices. It’s important to cut them while they are still hot, as they will be difficult to cut without breaking if they cool down. To prevent the almonds from breaking the biscotti when cutting, use a knife that is not serrated and make a swift, sharp cut. Otherwise, the almonds may tear the dough.

Step 10

Once sliced, place the biscotti back in the oven for an additional 5 or 6 minutes on each side.

Step 11

All that’s left is to let the biscotti cool completely before enjoying them.

Yes, you can use anise extract in biscotti. Anise extract gives the biscotti a special taste that’s a bit like licorice. It adds a nice flavor to the cookies, which are sweet and crispy. Just be careful not to add too much, because the flavor can become too strong. Start with a small amount, like half a teaspoon or a whole teaspoon, and adjust it if needed. Anise extract is very strong, so you don’t need a lot. You can also try adding other things like almonds or grated citrus peel to make the biscotti taste even better.

To eat biscotti, follow these steps:
Get a hot drink: Choose a hot drink like coffee or tea that you like.
Hold the biscotti: Take one biscotti cookie and hold it with your hand.
Dip it: Put one end of the biscotti into your hot drink. Leave it there for a few seconds, so it gets a bit softer. You can also skip this step if you want it to stay crunchy.
Take a bite: Lift the biscotti out of the drink and take a bite. Some parts will be soft, and some will be crunchy. Enjoy the different textures.
Enjoy more: You can keep dipping and eating more biscotti if you want.
Remember, biscotti are meant to be enjoyed by dipping them in a hot drink, but you can also eat them as crunchy cookies without dipping if you prefer.

Biscotti is not a type of marijuana (cannabis) like indica or sativa. Biscotti is an Italian cookie that people eat as a sweet treat. It’s made with ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and flavors such as almonds or anise. Biscotti has nothing to do with cannabis or its different types. It’s just a delicious cookie that many people enjoy.

The shelf life of biscotti depends on how they are stored and whether they are store-bought or homemade.
Store-bought biscotti: If you buy biscotti from a store, they can last for a few weeks to a few months if kept in an airtight container or sealed package. Check the expiration date on the package to be sure.
Homemade biscotti: If you make biscotti at home, they don’t usually last as long because they don’t have preservatives. When kept in an airtight container at room temperature, homemade biscotti can stay fresh for about 1 to 2 weeks. Let them cool completely before storing them to avoid moisture.
For longer storage: If you want to keep biscotti for a longer time, you can freeze them. Wrap them well or put them in a freezer-safe container, and they can stay good for 3 to 6 months. Thaw them before eating.
Remember, these are general suggestions, and the actual shelf life may vary depending on the specific biscotti recipe and how you store them. Always check for any signs of spoilage before eating.

Best way to store biscotti
Let them cool down: After baking, wait until the biscotti cool completely before storing. This helps prevent them from getting stale.
Find a sealed container: Choose a container with a lid that fits tightly or use a resealable plastic bag. Make sure it’s clean and dry.
Use parchment paper: Put a piece of parchment paper or wax paper between each layer of biscotti. This stops them from sticking together.
Close it tightly: Put the biscotti in the container and seal it tightly. This creates a tight seal that keeps the air out and keeps them fresh.
Store at room temperature: Keep the container in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Avoid putting them in direct sunlight, heat, or moisture. That can make them go bad or lose their crunchiness.
Check sometimes: Every so often, check the biscotti for any signs of mold or strange smells. If you see any, throw them away.
By following these steps, your biscotti should stay fresh for about 1 to 2 weeks. If you want to keep them longer, put them in a sealed container or bag and freeze them. They can last in the freezer for 3 to 6 months. When you want to eat them, let them thaw at room temperature before enjoying them.
Remember, storing biscotti correctly helps them stay tasty and crunchy.

Cutting biscotti without breaking them can be a bit tricky, but with these tips, you can do it:
Use a sharp, serrated knife: Use a knife with a saw-like edge. It helps grip the biscotti and prevents them from crumbling.
Let them cool completely: Make sure the biscotti are completely cool before cutting. This makes them firmer and less likely to break.
Saw gently: Hold the biscotti firmly and use a gentle back-and-forth sawing motion with the knife. Avoid pressing too hard, as that can cause them to break.
Take your time: Don’t rush. Slowly and steadily cut through the biscotti to avoid breaking them.
Cut diagonally: Instead of cutting straight across, try cutting diagonally. This creates longer, slimmer pieces that are less likely to break.
Let them cool after cutting: After you’ve cut the biscotti, let the slices cool completely. This helps them firm up and keeps them from breaking.
By following these tips, you should be able to cut biscotti without them breaking too much. Just remember to be gentle and patient, and enjoy your biscotti slices!

Biscotti can be a part of a healthy diet, but whether they are considered healthy or not depends on a few things. Here’s what you should know:
What’s in biscotti: Biscotti are usually made with ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and sometimes nuts, chocolate, or dried fruits. They have less fat than other cookies, but they can still have a lot of carbs and sugar. The exact nutritional value depends on the recipe and what’s added.
How much you eat: Biscotti are often served in small, crunchy slices. It’s important to not eat too much at once so you don’t get too many calories.
Good things in biscotti: Some biscotti have whole wheat flour or extra things like nuts and dried fruits. These can add fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which are good for you.
Be careful when dipping: People often dip biscotti in drinks like coffee or tea. It can taste great, but be aware that the drink might have extra calories if it’s sweetened or high in calories.
To sum it up, you can enjoy biscotti as part of a healthy diet, but remember to eat them in moderation. Look for biscotti with whole wheat flour, nuts, or dried fruits for more nutrition. Also, watch how much you eat and be mindful of the calories in your drink if you dip the biscotti. Just like with any food, it’s good to have a mix of different things in your diet.
