Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake classic Biscotti cookies? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. How to knead the dough for Italian biscotti at home? Add flour sifted twice through a sieve or using a special mug into a bowl. Add sugar and baking powder and mix.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the eggs with baking soda in warm water, as there may be harmful bacteria on their surface. Whisk into a bowl with flour.

Step 3

Step 3
Mix the future dough with a spoon.

Step 4

Step 4
Add milk to a bowl. It can be either cool or at room temperature. There is no difference. Milk can be with any percentage of fat content.

Step 5

Step 5
Knead the dough thoroughly. When it becomes inconvenient to use a spoon, continue kneading with your hands. The dough should be soft, pliable, and stick to your hands. Since flour from different manufacturers has different properties, you may need less or more of it. Focus on the required dough consistency.

Step 6

Step 6
You can leave the almonds for cookies whole, but I first chopped them a little with a knife. It’s also not worth trying for crumbs here, because with more or less large pieces when cutting, the biscotti will look very appetizing.

Step 7

Step 7
Add the almonds to the dough and stir until the nuts are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Roll the dough into a bar about four centimeters wide. And slightly flatten it at the edges. Place on a baking sheet greased with sunflower oil and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about twenty minutes. I used a Teflon baking mat when baking. The times are approximate, be guided by the operating characteristics of your oven.

Step 8

Step 8
After the specified time, remove the biscotti with nuts from the oven. This is what the bars look like after the first baking. They set well and increased in volume. But they should still be soft inside.

Step 9

Step 9
Using a sharp knife, cut the bars diagonally diagonally into pieces one and a half centimeters wide. Place back on the baking sheet and bake again in the oven at the same temperature (180 degrees) for about another 30 minutes or until the cookies are completely dry. Once the biscotti with almonds are ready, take them out of the oven and let them cool. Serve with tea, coffee or cocoa. Bon appetit!
