Make Biscotti Like An Italian: Authentic Tuscan cantucci recipe
You’ll need to twice bake these Tuscan almond biscotti but don’t let that scare you! This recipe is as easy as it is authentic. The name biscotti actually means baked again, however, the actual name of these in Tuscany where the recipe originates is cantucci. It literally means the end of a loaf of bread.
These are a great treat to have alongside your morning coffee or with a glass of sweet vin santo as an after-dinner dessert. Since they are twice-baked, they can store for weeks. If they make it that long!

Serves 10 as a snack
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 - 30 minutes
Ingredients:
280 grams of 00 or cake flour
180 grams of almonds
150 grams of sugar
2 eggs beaten
1 tablespoon of orange zest (Optional)
1 teaspoon of baking powder
¼ teaspoon of almond extract
Pinch of salt
Preparation:
Preheat an oven to 350°F or 180 °C.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl and add the sugar, zest, and almond extract. Make sure the mixture is well mixed but it doesn’t need to be creamed.
Once everything is incorporated, add the flour, baking powder and salt. Mixx this well until it is homogenous and all the flour is incorporated intot he mixture. The bowl should be clean on the sides but be careful not to overmix it. Add the almonds and mix again.
Roll out the mixture into two logs about two inches thick. Put them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and onto the middle rack of the oven.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the middle looks as though there are no raw bits. Remove from the oven and let cool enough to be able to handle. Slice the loaves into slices roughly ½ inches thick.
Place slices on their sides and put them back onto the cookie sheet. Place the pan back into the oven and let them cook again for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool to room temperature before eating. Store them in a sealable cookie jar for up to 3 weeks.

FAQ:
Who is this lady?
Gina Petitti was born in 1935 in Faeto, Italy. Her family ran a farm in Italy and she met her husband, Vito, in the same town. In 1970 Gina, Vito, and her 4 children immigrated to America. Gina’s husband passed away in 2012, but she is surrounded by a large family, which includes 9 grandchildren, and lives 5 minutes away from her eldest daughter in New Jersey. Gina spends her time cooking, gardening, and being an active member of her local Church.
Where does Gina get her recipes?
Most of these recipes are from what she learned growing up in Italy, but some of them have evolved over time. She has also learned new recipes from friends and family in America. She is always eager to try new things.
Why is no one helping her in the video?
Grandma Gina doesn’t want help! Usually, it’s because we will slow her down or not do it “her way.” For the videos we only show her, but when the camera cuts we jump in and help form the cookies or prep for the next step.
Why don’t we buy her a new...?
Grandma Gina has a closet and garage full of new gadgets, spoons, forks, pots, etc… but she doesn’t like them because she is used to doing it with her old tools. She has fun getting her hands dirty!
Who is behind the camera?
Her retired son-in-law films, her daughter helps her prep, and she usually has one or two grandkids in the kitchen.
Does Gina read the comments?
We print out and show her how much love she gets from all her viewers, and she is very thankful and hopes you enjoy her cooking! Your comments bring her lots of joy, laughter, and inspiration to make more videos to share with you.
Thank you for watching, we hope you subscribe, and we will see you in our next video!

Recipe
Yield: About 2 dozen
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Ingredients
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk
1 ¼ cups (250 g) granulated sugar (caster sugar)
2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla extract
2 cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
½ cup (60 g) cocoa powder (Dutch process or regular)
1 ½ tsp (7 mL) baking soda
½ tsp (2 mL) salt
1 ¼ cups (170 g) shelled unsalted pistachios
1 cup (150 g) chopped dark chocolate chunks or chips
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. With electric beaters or a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, whip the eggs, yolk, sugar and vanilla on high speed until it holds a ribbon when the beaters are lifted, about 3 minutes.
3. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and fold this into the whipped eggs until fully incorporated (the mixture will deflate a little, and seem like a cake batter in consistency). Stir in the pistachios and chocolate chunks (or chips) and spoon this onto the prepared baking tray and spread into the rough shape of a single log – the batter will be soft, so don’t worry if the shape isn’t too precise. Bake this for about 35 minutes, until a tester inserted into the centre of the cantucci log comes out clean – because of the melted chocolate chunks within, you may have to test in a few places. Allow this to cool for about 20 minutes and reduce the oven temperature to 300 F (150 C).
4. Remove the cantucci log to a cutting board and use a serrated knife to slice across the width into cookies that are ½-inch thick. Arrange these on the lined baking trays (you’ll need 2 trays for this step) and bake for 12 minutes. Remove the trays from the oven and flip the cantucci over, returning to the oven to bake another 12 minutes. Cool the cantucci on the tray. If you find that after cooling, the cantucci aren’t crunchy all the way through, you can return them to the oven to bake a few more minutes.
The cantucci will keep up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
