Biscotti is an Italian crunchy biscuit that is enjoyed globally on its own, or with coffee or tea. These twice-baked biscuits became popular due to their longer shelf life, and can be prepared ahead of time easily. My Once-Baked Biscotti recipe is perfect for those who don't like their biscotti too hard, it is just the right crispiness. The addition of almonds, anisette, and rum in this recipe makes it all the more appealing to the taste buds! For optimal results, store this biscotti in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
3.	In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy, then add the lemon rind, anisette, and rum.
4.	Stir in the dry ingredients and fold in the almonds.
5.	Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and form it into a rectangle of 12 x 3 inches.
6.	Bake for 20 minutes or until the top begins to lightly brown.
7.	Remove the biscotti from the oven, and let it cool for 5 minutes.
8.	Using a sharp knife, cut the biscotti into diagonal slices of 1 inch thickness.
9.	Return the biscotti to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes before removing it from the oven to let it cool.
10.	The biscotti will be quite crisp after baking, but it will become firmer as it cools.

PROS

Once-baked biscotti provides a longer shelf life compared to twice-baked biscotti, and it also has a tender texture and moderate sweetness that pairs well with hot beverages.

CONS

This biscotti has a relatively high sugar content and is made with refined flour, making it relatively calorie-dense and low in fiber.
It should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
