Biscotti

by:




Biscotti means "twice cooked"; the closest equivalent in English is "rusk". This basic dough is made in a food processor and stirred with chopped hazelnuts, dried berries, candied orange rind, and spices. These biscotti are flavored very much like the medieval panforte - hard, round disks, half cake, half bread - sold in Italy at Christmas time.
