Vitamin B(iscotti):
Bake the slices for 14 minutes at 300 F. It is very easy to burn the biscotti at this stage, so check them after 12 minutes. Pick one up and look at the bottom: It should be golden brown. If it is dark brown, stop the baking; otherwise continue it for two more minutes. Take the biscotti out of the oven and let them rest for at least half an hour, keeping them under strict surveillance as the fragrance in the air may give rise to episodes of stealth wake-walking in other inhabitants of the house.
I store biscotti in a container and I would like to say “in dry place,” but in fact the container sits permanently on my kitchen counter, ready to be opened in case of snack emergency or when my husband and I pack for a kayaking or hiking excursion. Biscotti are perfect companions for all kinds of trips: They even pass security at the airport! They can also travel by themselves: I ship small boxes filled with them via Priority Mail to family members and friends and they are well received wherever they are delivered.
This is an open invitation: You may end up agreeing with me that biscotti are better nutrition bars. Personally, I think they are the best ever.
