Nothing is more iconic with a cup of coffee than a great piece of biscotti. Sadly, a lot of coffee shop varieties are too dry and have no flavor. Now you can make your own at home! It’s easy, fresh, and utterly delicious. You never need to buy a piece of biscotti again!

Once cooled, the biscotti will be dry and perfect for dunking into a hot cup of coffee. This recipe can be adapted with different fruits, nuts, and flavorings. Simple, rustic, and delicious.

  • On a parchment- or Silpat-lined baking sheet, form two rectangles, 14 inches long and approximately three inches wide. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden.
  • Remove from oven and slide onto a cutting board and slice into one-inch pieces on a diagonal. Place back on baking sheets, cut side down, and bake at 325°F for 12-15 minutes longer, watching closely so they do not burn (check the bottoms for burning).
  • Remove from oven and cool on wire racks.

    OMG! These are the most delicious biscotti ever. You will never buy store bought biscotti again. This recipe is super simple to make. I used King Arthur Bakers Fruit Blend for the dried fruit. You can order it from the King Arthur website. This is such an amazing recipe that I will certainly make for the Holidays and wrap them in celo bags with a bow to give to family and friends. Thank you Kaleb for all your great recipes.
