This is really a food blog at the moment! Biscotti
August 19, 2005
This weekend I'm making biscotti. I'm going to use one of the recipes from my best recipe cookbook but vary the filling. I'll post the recipe if it's any good. I've done a bit of research, because I want to slice them really thin and have come across this tip:
To avoid crumbling if you want to make very thin biscotti (for the second bake), you can wrap the whole baked dough loaf and freeze it overnight. The next day, a serrated knife will cut thin slices. This technique is especially useful when the biscotti contains whole nuts.
I found heaps more info on this page http://ellenskitchen.com/bigpots/biscotti.html
Update: These were ok but not great. Not recipe-post worthy. And I could only get about half of them into whole slices, even slicing quite thickly, so I won't bother with the overnight freezing next time.
