Recipe Questions & Answers

โ†’ What is the best way to store biscotti to keep them fresh?

Store biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks to maintain their crispness and flavor.

โ†’ Can I substitute pistachios with other nuts?

Yes, almonds or hazelnuts can be used as alternatives to pistachios, providing a different but equally delicious crunch.

โ†’ How do I achieve the perfect crisp texture in biscotti?

Bake the logs fully before slicing, then bake the slices twice at moderate heat to dry them out and develop a crunchy texture.

Adding orange zest enhances the flavor and adds a bright, citrus note that complements the cranberries and pistachios.
