Making homemade biscotti is one of the easiest and most rewarding things that you can
bake. It only takes a handful of ingredients and you'll be surprised how fast it is to make.
It's also great for giving as gifts. Below is my favorite biscotti recipe, given to me by my
sister. This recipe calls for almonds, hazelnuts and extracts, but you can substitute your
own favorite flavors of extracts and add-in ingredients if nuts aren't your thing. Check it out!
