Instructions
- READ FIRST BEFORE STARTING:
BE CAREFUL WITH THE FIRST BAKING OF THESE BISCOTTI. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE BAKED A SECOND TIME AFTER BEING CUT, IF THEY DO NOT BAKE SUFFICIENTLY THE FIRST TIME, THE BISCOTTI WILL HAVE A HARD AND HEAVY CORE.
- PREHEAT OVEN TO 350°.
- COMBINE ALL OF THE INGREDIENTS EXCEPT HONEY AND WATER IN A MIXING BOWL. STIR 2 MINUTES TO MIX WELL. ADD THE HONEY AND WATER AND STIR UNTIL A FIRM DOUGH FORMS. REMOVE DOUGH FROM BOWL AND DIVIDE IN HALF.
- ROLL EACH HALF INTO A LOG ABOUT 15" LONG. PLACE BOTH LOGS, WELL APART ON A JELLY ROLL PAN LINED WITH PARCHMENT OR BUTTERED WAX PAPER.
- BAKE ABOUT 30 MINUTE, UNTIL WELL RISEN, FIRM AND A DARK GOLDEN COLOR.
- REMOVE FROM OVEN AND COOL SLIGHTLY AND PLACE ON A CUTTING BOARD.
- SLICE THE LOGS DIAGONALLY 1/2" THICK. RETURN THE CUT BISCOTTI TO THE PAN, CUT SIDE DOWN AND BAKE AN ADDITIONAL 15 MINUTES OR UNTIL LIGHTLY COLORED AND DRY. COOL ON THE PAN.
- STORE IN TINS OR IN AN AIRTIGHT CONTAINER.
