Biscotti can sometimes be a hard item to make successfully, even-though it is one of the most simple baked goods to produce it has certain key steps that if missed can make your life a miserable journey of bad biscotti eating.
I have been trying different recipes and techniques over the years and think that finally found the one that makes sense for me.
Almonds are my favorite nuts and are always found one way or another in my baked goods, salads or just an afternoon snack.
This recipe is adapted from one of the very first baking books I bought, The Baker's Dozen Cookbook, page 204 Pistachio-Golden raising Biscotti. I use slivered almonds, dried cherries or cranberries chopped, instead of the pistachios and raisins, and orange zest as I love the lovely citrus fragrance it gives to every bite.
