In this guide, we will show you how to make simple biscotti – a classic Italian treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few basic ingredients and some easy steps, you’ll have a batch of delicious biscotti to enjoy in no time!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Mix until light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.

5. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts to the dough.

6. Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log, approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes.

8. Using a sharp knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place the slices back onto the baking sheet, cut side down.

9. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the biscotti are golden and crispy. Let them cool completely before serving.
