Final Comments


Serving Size : 45

NOTE: Bake until loaves are just pink. Then slice and lightly toast. If you do this, they will be soft. Toast longer for harder biscotti.

Recipe from Shirley Rosa. Typed by Lynn Thomas. Lynn's notes: This is our family recipe for biscotti. When I want a harder biscotti to dip into coffee, I bake the cut slices a little longer. Store them in an airtight container and they last for weeks.
