Thank you for your recipe. Your pictures alone answered many questions and your hints gave me a jump start to making biscotti. I will get busy now.

All the comments and no one questioned the size of the loaves ? I'll give you that they look about 10 inches long, but by 2 inches no way- the width looks at least 4-5 " long and this is supposed to be for engineers- ha ha!

yup. but engineers read the directions.

With your hands, form the batter into two loaves of approximately 10-in. (25 cm) by 2 in. (5 cm) each.

engineers who bake know formed loaves change dimensions in the baking process.

Thank you for the recipe and HAHAH to your reply regarding the loaf changing dimension...

I'm not an engineer but it's funny to see engineers bashing each other =P

Thank you none the less. Will bake this over the weekend.

Great recipe! I wish I saw this before I made my very first batch. Easy directions. My favorite thing besides the pictures is the recipe at the botton - dig that layout!

Here is a suggestion for the second baking which was handed down to me by a very kind Portuguese woman. Instead of turning the individual pieces or trying to stand them up on end evenly spaced, after slicing them, leave them on their sides and put whole wire cooling rack into the oven to finish the second baking. The heat and air can bake both sides at the same time. I was very happy Elsie shared one of her baking tricks with me saving me time and effort.

I've made biscotti using this recipe (omitting the orange zest and adding a splash more almond extract) a few times now, and they always turn out perfect. Thanks!

I've been making this recipe successfully for Xmas gifts this year. Instead of the slivered almonds, orange zest, and almond extract though, I've been using amaretto, lemon zest, dried cranberries, and candied ginger

Enjoying the discussion.

My question will be anathema to some...

How do I get a soft, chewy biscotti.

bought some at a show recently and they were wonderful.

any help would be appreciated.

The answer, Don, is that you don't.

I think you're looking for a shortbread cookie recipe.

Nice recipe and clear instructions, but the list of ingredients at the top of the page does not include the almond and vanilla extracts, although they are included in the diagram.

Thanks. I've fixed the article to include the extracts.

I've got a batch of biscotti in the oven as I write. For the first time, I decided to weigh the sifted flour. But I didn't get the 250 grams you list; I got 225 -- so I added a little more flour till it reached 250g.
I know people measure flour in different ways. I gently fill the measuring cup tablespoon by tablespoon and level with knife. I know some people scoop with the measuring cup and then level. The way I do it may be why I end up with less flour. Since I'm making your recipe, it would help to know how you measure flour.
Many thanks, Merry
