Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 2 Mixing bowls
  • Baking tray
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 pcs. eggs
  • ½ tbsp. baking soda
  • ½ cup cooking oil
  • ½ cup almonds
  • 3 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir well.
  • In another mixing bowl, combine the eggs, oil, and sugar. Add the almonds to the mix.
  • Combine the dry mix with the wet mix. Stir well until there are no visible lumps.
  • Lightly grease the baking trays using unsalted butter.
  • Transfer the dough onto your greased trays and divide the dough into four pieces.
  • Shape the halves into 12-inch-long logs.
  • Bake the dough for about half an hour, until firm.
  • Let it cool on a rack.
  • Once cooled, slice the logs again, this time in the shape of cookies, and bake again, for 15-20 minutes.
  • Let your biscotti cool to room temperature.

Notes

  • Make ahead — Even though the Barefoot Contessa biscotti recipe has a short cooking time, you can always prepare the dough beforehand and store it in your fridge for a night or two. Still, remember that fresh dough will always result in better biscotti.
 
  • Cut it the right way — If you’d like to make a biscotti that not only tastes bakery-style but also looks that way, try using a serrated knife to cut the dough. Your biscotti will be crunchier!
