@@sanaduggall Hi! Sorry for the delayed response. I usually check out Claire Saffitz and Bon Appetit for my baking recipes but Babish's is great too! In terms of tips, I would say don't overmix. It's a common mistake in baking but as you continue to mix, you're developing gluten (the stuff that gives bread it's chewiness) which is unpleasant in things like cookies and biscotti. And just practice! The only way to get better at something is to keep trying. :)
Well done Babish. In italy the word biscotti is the perfect equivalent of the english word biscuits, or cookie. Every kind of biscuit in Italy is called biscotto [biscotti is for plural]. It's a generic term. This particular kind of biscotto, quite dry and almondish, is, as far as I know, a typical product of the Toscana region, where is called "cantuccio" and is served at the end of the lunch or dinner with some sweet wine. I think there also other places in Italy where you can find this kind of biscotto, or something similar, but obviously under specific, regional name.
Actually they're known all around Italy as cantucci or cantuccini, I'm roman and we call them like that even if we don't necessarily know they're from Tuscany and in the rest of Italy too. It's such a well known treat that everybody calls it the same way, like cassata siciliana for example.

As a person with sensitive teeth, I thank Sensodyn for sponsoring this video. They've helped my sensitive teeth and helped Andrew present an enjoyable video of one of my favorite snacks. Not too often you get to double up like that. A word of advice to my fellow sensitive teeth sufferers, should your sensitivity persist, keep using the Sensodyn every time you brush and get off your butts and make time to go see your dentist before your problem gets worse! If you see your dentist early, you're much more likely to be able to handle the issue with only Sensodyn and treatment from your dentist. If you put things off, you're more likely to have the condition develop into a situation where the Sensodyn can't help and your dentist will have to spend a lot more time in your mouth.
In Italian, "biscotti" is "cookies/biscuits" (yes, plural). What Babish made are cantucci (cantuccio for singular), which is only one of the thousands of types of Italian biscuits. Cantucci are traditionally way smaller and consumed with vin santo (a dessert wine), but I prefer them as they are or with yogurt.
I love when sensodyne sponsors Babish. As a teen I had gingivitis that hurt when I brushed with other toothpaste and sensitivity to anything with icing. Sensodyne got rid of both. I still have positive feelings about the toothpaste that essentially saved my teeth.

"masa" is just "dough" in Spanish and yet the USA and some latino people there insist in calling some mixtures "masa" in English speaking contexts. Same for other words that don't come to mind right now. It really depends on where you ask. Italians might not care but some other countries do, so it's not obvious. Of course, I'm nitpicking, so don't mind me.
@@nodezsh From my (albeit limited) knowledge, the US uses masa as shorthand for "Masa Harina" which is a very specific form of corn flour that's been treated with lime to make hominy. While the term literally translates to "dough flour," it has a specific meaning here. Kind of like some places using the word "toffee" to refer to all kinds of sweets, but the US has a very specific definition for it. It's just a weird cultural thing 🤷♀️
I remember once trying to make maple pecan biscotti because I saw maple extract in the spice cabinet. It was my first time baking biscotti, so it was a little on the crumbly side.

Latin, bis = twice, coctus = cooked: thus biscoctus means twice cooked. Thus biscotti is derived from a work meaning twice cooked... sometimes rendered as just toast.
which is also where the word ricotta comes from: cotta cooked re again, so twice cooked cheese - coagulating the proteins left in the whey after cheesemaking.
@@spwicks1980 nah from the french. “Cuit” is cooked but obviously from the same Latin root. And because Latin is just ancient Italian I guess we’re both right.
Of course we can still argue. Those with almonds are meant to be "cantuccini pratesi" (biscotti is the italian for cookies) the should be brushed with egg before the 1st cooking, and brown a lot more, they traditionally will be served with "vinsanto" a sweet dessert wine made with dried grapes instead the fresh ones. You should taste the original.
I'm surprised he didn't include a clip from "Frasier" of the scene where Niles is meeting Martin at Cafe Nervosa, and tells the waitress to call the biscotti a "cookie" for Martin's benefit... except when the waitress does that, Martin corrects her, revealing that he knows exactly what a biscotti is.
@@TieflingKumasi Yes, but considering "Frasier" is his favorite show, I'm still surprised he didn't think to make this vid a recreation one... oh well, I guess he just forgot, or it would have been too difficult since he was also advertising toothpaste.
I went by the recipe. The only things I will change next time would be to lower the salt to 1/4 teaspoon and I would use floured hands to shape the dough. I tried wet hands and it made a mess. I liked that this recipe used no fats. They came out perfect as far as shape and texture. They cut cleanly , I did not have a single one break unlike other recipes I have tried. Thanks so much for this recipe.
My best friends mom every Christmas makes Biscotti. She always makes a ginger( with fresh ginger and crystallized ginger) white chocolate one, traditional almond, and two years ago she made a Chinese five spice and white sesame version which slapped so hard. I do love an excellent biscotti!

I used this and his coffee cake video as inspiration for coffee cake biscotti. So cinnamon brown sugar biscotti with streusel mixed in along with mounded on top. The streussel could have adhered better, but otherwise, only way I am drinking my coffee from now on.
italian here and i won't get "too mad" at your rendition although: "Biscotti" is a common term for "cookies", but unlike "cookies" which people assumes it's the chocolate chips one, "biscotti" is the generic term, every cookie is a "biscotto", like saying "pasta" and there's a huge variety of pasta, which is pasta, but there's spaghetti, penne, elbow, maccheroni etc. Moving on, you made what we call "Cantuccini" which are crunchy cookies with almonds, we usually dip them in coffee but they're best intended to be dip in Vin Santo (holy wine?) which is a dessert wine. Other two variants you made, i don't have any issues with, people can play around with ingredients and recipes all they want and i fully endorse them. Not sure i like the one dipped in half the chocolate though, it would leave the other half more bland by comparison, i like the one with the bottom coated better if i had to choose.
Ill have to show my Italian Grandmother this recipe and see what she thinks. She made these for me my whole childhood growing up and are one of my favorite Italian treats
For once in the past 2 years, finally, a "BASICS" With Babish that virtually anyone can actually make in their own kitchen and don't need to be a millionaire CZcams chef to create.
My family was mostly from Prato originally, where these originated. We called them biscotti. They were usually dipped in liquor, not coffee. My aunt typically dipped these in "mescolanza" (sp?), which was a mixture of whiskey, anisette, and dry vermouth. Think warm martini. It's kind of weird for me personally that the rest of the world eats these now.
"biscotti" in Italian is the generic way we call biscuits, and there are different types of biscuit, and in particular these you made are the "cantucci"
Coffee and toothpaste don't go hand-in-hand. Coffee is highly acidic and toothpaste is a base. Combining the two leads to a acid-base reaction which destroys the protective layer of your teeth. Never brush right before or right after drinking coffee. This video gives some very bad advice.
Hi Andrew, You don't need to chop the almonds, as they will be cut when you're slicing the loaf after the first bake. The Maltese version adds chopped candied orange/lemon rind to the mixture as well which caramelise beautifully. Also the loaf should be the width of a baguette rather than a ciabatta. I've only seen mass produced ones that size.
Literally bought sensodyne for the first time this week. And I’ve been thinking about making biscotti this weekend. So really freaked me out when you said, “oh no Andy do you have tooth sensitivity”. How does he know! hahah (My name is also Andrew/Andy).

I must say, uts been a while since I've seen one of these videos. It's rather refreshing to watch it again
I used this and his coffee cake video as inspiration for coffee cake biscotti. So cinnamon brown sugar biscotti with streusel mixed in along with mounded on top.
The streussel could have adhered better, but otherwise, only way I am drinking my coffee from now on.
could you do a basics episode on how to make our own sensodyne toothpaste at home from scratch?
italian here and i won't get "too mad" at your rendition although: "Biscotti" is a common term for "cookies", but unlike "cookies" which people assumes it's the chocolate chips one, "biscotti" is the generic term, every cookie is a "biscotto", like saying "pasta" and there's a huge variety of pasta, which is pasta, but there's spaghetti, penne, elbow, maccheroni etc.
Moving on, you made what we call "Cantuccini" which are crunchy cookies with almonds, we usually dip them in coffee but they're best intended to be dip in Vin Santo (holy wine?) which is a dessert wine. Other two variants you made, i don't have any issues with, people can play around with ingredients and recipes all they want and i fully endorse them. Not sure i like the one dipped in half the chocolate though, it would leave the other half more bland by comparison, i like the one with the bottom coated better if i had to choose.
Ill have to show my Italian Grandmother this recipe and see what she thinks. She made these for me my whole childhood growing up and are one of my favorite Italian treats
0:21 That face is absolutely golden.
For once in the past 2 years, finally, a "BASICS" With Babish that virtually anyone can actually make in their own kitchen and don't need to be a millionaire CZcams chef to create.
Those look delicious
My Mom Mom passed five years ago and this was one of her favorites, thanks for the memory trip Bab 🤟🏽🧡🧡
Video Idea for Thanksgiving: Reeses Thanksgiving dinner from Malcom in the middle.
Maybe you can make the Lobsters from Scooby-Doo and the Gourmet Ghost movie
It's astounding how often Andrew uses non-stick spray to stick parchment paper to pans.
And it doesn't even make sense - the stuff stays down with gravity, it's just a waste of resources.
I was just googling this to make biscottis. I thought you already would've done this video. This is a sign that I must make biscottis
You're so awesome man, I don't even mind the toothpaste plug! Thanks for this recipe!!!
"Biscotti"
"Biscotto"
"Pardon me?"
"Biscotto"
"That's what I said biscotti"
"That's would be if there is more than one there's only one"
I'm not italian, but I'm pretty sure biscotti is the plural. That's also what says wiktionnaire ^^
Biscotto, plural biscotti.
@@krankarvolund7771 that's correct as an Italian I can confirm
@@krankarvolund7771 Thank you, I had botched the quote.
0:22 me telling my friends i can't go hangout with them cuz some family stuffs, and the family stuff means binging netflix for a wholeass day
Get out of my search history! I was looking for biscotti recipes after hearing about them in a video. And here you are lol.
Oh yeah, it’s hunger time
for a moment there I thought he was going to put the sensodyne onto the biscotti 😂
First time I was this early, Babish still had the themesong of tossed salad and scrambled eggs
Perfect! I'll use your recipe for my first batches of biscotti. Love you narration.
I love how Sensodyne gave Babish a sponsorship even though he has made some of the most unhealthy things I’ve ever seen
I mean, it's when you consume unhealthy things that you need toothpaste the most XD
@@krankarvolund7771 best advertising ever I guess lol
To me, dipping the biscotti into a cup of coffee “completes” the biscotti.
WHAT CAN THIS MAN NOT BE SPONSORED BY
My family was mostly from Prato originally, where these originated. We called them biscotti. They were usually dipped in liquor, not coffee. My aunt typically dipped these in "mescolanza" (sp?), which was a mixture of whiskey, anisette, and dry vermouth. Think warm martini. It's kind of weird for me personally that the rest of the world eats these now.
These videos always makes our days better
Why does this feel like it was written for a sponsorship with Trade Coffee but the sponsorship fell through and he had to improvise?
Came in expecting to be hungry for Biscotti.
Walked away feeling an urge to brush my teeth.
I just made this recipe and it is very delicious! Crunchy!
"biscotti" in Italian is the generic way we call biscuits, and there are different types of biscuit, and in particular these you made are the "cantucci"
Coffee and toothpaste don't go hand-in-hand.
Coffee is highly acidic and toothpaste is a base. Combining the two leads to a acid-base reaction which destroys the protective layer of your teeth.
Never brush right before or right after drinking coffee.
This video gives some very bad advice.
Babish, are you a wizard? I was literally just ranting about how much I love biscotti's and wanted to try making them.
Definitely did not expect to watch Andy brush his teeth twice today.
Wow I've never been this early
Hi Andrew, You don't need to chop the almonds, as they will be cut when you're slicing the loaf after the first bake. The Maltese version adds chopped candied orange/lemon rind to the mixture as well which caramelise beautifully. Also the loaf should be the width of a baguette rather than a ciabatta. I've only seen mass produced ones that size.
I used to make chocolate cherry biscotti with espresso powder that was….unspeakably amazing

Great video! I will definitely be sure to use this recipe to create my own twist on biscotti in a few decades when I'm up for it or something maybe
Andy, nothing on this earth is more exciting to me than etymology
I can never hear or see the word biscotti without Jordan Schlansky popping into my head
As a fan and an Italian, I'll vouch for you
Literally bought sensodyne for the first time this week. And I’ve been thinking about making biscotti this weekend. So really freaked me out when you said, “oh no Andy do you have tooth sensitivity”. How does he know! hahah (My name is also Andrew/Andy).
You should make a sensodyne biscotti
