Biscotti

 We've also been making biscotti. Here's how we make them:

First make the biscotti dough. I think I posted that recipe a while ago. Pretty basic...3 cups flour, 3 eggs, salt. sugar. almonds, anise, vanilla and almond extract. Shape the batter on some parchment paper. We use Yoshi's reusable baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes at 180C. Now here's the trick...remove the dough and thinly slice the biscotti. It's soft enough to slice yet firm enough not to crumble. Stick the biscotti back in the oven (Pieces standing up) and continue baking for another 15 minutes. Lay the slices down and bake for another 10 minutes at 150C. Turn the slices over and repeat. Place on a cooling rack and you're done.

We couldn't figure out how to cut the biscotti thin without breaking them. After doing some experiments we found that this works every time. Cheers!
