Biscotti – The Ancient Roman Cookie You Can Still Bake Today! 🍪

Biscotti – The Ancient Roman Cookie You Can Still Bake Today! 🍪 Did you know that biscotti have been around since ancient Roman times? 🏛️ These twice-baked cookies were carried by Roman legionaries on long marches because they lasted for months. Today, I'm baking a modern version with almonds, citrus zest, and a touch of honey – and it's incredibly easy! 📝 Ingredients: 200 g all-purpose flour 100 g sugar 100 g almonds (50 g whole + 50 g chopped) Pinch of salt 6 g baking powder (about 1 packet) Pinch of vanilla 2 tbsp honey 2 eggs Zest of half an orange Zest of half a lemon 👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions: Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, almonds, salt, baking powder, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients: Crack in the eggs, add honey, and grate in the orange and lemon zest. Mix and knead: Stir everything together until a fragrant dough forms. Shape the dough: Dust a cutting board with flour, place the dough on it, and shape it into a rectangle. First bake: Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 170°C (340°F) for 20 minutes. Cool and slice: Let the baked loaf cool for 15 minutes, then slice into pieces (I got 13 cookies – enough for 10–13 servings). Second bake: Arrange the slices on the baking sheet and bake again at 160°C (320°F) for 10 minutes – this gives them that perfect crunch. 💡 Why you'll love them: Long shelf life – just like the ancient Romans! Perfect with coffee, tea, or milk ☕🥛 Packed with almond and citrus flavor 🍊 🔔 If you enjoyed this video, please support me by leaving a comment – it really helps and means a lot! #Biscotti #ItalianCookies #TwiceBaked #HomemadeCookies #BakingAtHome #AlmondCookies #AncientRome #CoffeeCookies #TheHomemadeKitchen
