I bet they’d be fantastic half-dipped in chocolate.

I love biscotti with my morning cup of tea. Sams no longer carries the plain biscotti that I like so well. I’m certainly going to make this. Thanks so much for the recipe.
had my leftover starter in a bowl on the counter covered with plastic. It was doing well with some bubbles …I stirred once a day and then fed once. It has done nothing at all for days now. I want to use to bake but it does not seem active. whats a girl too do?
It will wake back up when you feed it again on Day 10! Sounds like you are doing everything right.
The biscotti is such a hit with my friends and family. Try adding 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and choice of nuts for chocolate biscotti, and substitute lemon extract for vanilla and add almonds for lemon biscotti. It is a can’t miss.
Linda your changes sound great! We will have to add them to the Kitchen Notes! Happy Baking!
