1. Preheat oven to 350.

5. On a lightly floured surface, shape dough into 2 flat-bottomed cylinders, 1 in. high, 2 1/2 in. wide and 8 in. long. Remove each to the baking sheet.

6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly colored on top. Remove from oven and cool slightly.

Carefully place slices back on baking sheet, cut sides down; return to oven for 15 minutes more and bake until sides are golden and biscotti have dried a bit. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks. The biscotti should be somewhat hard and crunchy. Yield: 20 to 24 biscotti You can also dip one end into some melted chocolate, for a nice effect and great taste.
