Frequently Asked Questions About Hazelnut Biscotti
What is Hazelnut Biscotti?
Hazelnut Biscotti is an Italian twice-baked biscuit made with hazelnuts. The dough is baked as a loaf, sliced, and baked again, giving the pieces their characteristic dry, crunchy texture.
Why is Hazelnut Biscotti so hard?
Hazelnut Biscotti is hard because it is baked twice to dry it out and make it crisp. Dunking a piece briefly in coffee or tea softens it and makes it easier to bite.
Do you dip Hazelnut Biscotti in coffee?
Yes, Hazelnut Biscotti is often dipped in coffee, especially espresso. Its firm texture holds up well in a hot drink, softening without immediately falling apart; tea is another common pairing.
Where does Hazelnut Biscotti come from?
Hazelnut Biscotti belongs to the Italian tradition of twice-baked biscuits. Biscotti are often associated with Tuscany, where the classic cantucci are baked as a loaf, sliced, and returned to the oven.
What is the difference between Hazelnut Biscotti and cantucci?
Hazelnut Biscotti describes a hazelnut version of the twice-baked biscuit, while cantucci refers to a traditional Tuscan style. Cantucci are commonly made with almonds, though recipes and naming can vary.
How do you make Hazelnut Biscotti at home?
To make Hazelnut Biscotti, mix hazelnuts into a firm dough, shape it into a loaf, bake it, slice it, and bake the slices again. Turning the slices during the second bake helps them dry evenly.
How should you store Hazelnut Biscotti?
Store Hazelnut Biscotti in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Exposure to moisture makes the biscuits lose their crunch, so let freshly baked pieces cool completely before sealing them away.
Can you freeze Hazelnut Biscotti?
Yes, Hazelnut Biscotti can be frozen in an airtight freezer-safe container or bag. Thaw the pieces at room temperature and, if they have softened, briefly warm them in a low oven to refresh their crunch.
What can you add to Hazelnut Biscotti besides hazelnuts?
Hazelnut Biscotti can include additions such as orange zest, chocolate, or dried fruit. These change the flavor and texture; keep extra ingredients modest so the hazelnuts remain noticeable and the dough still slices cleanly.
Why did my Hazelnut Biscotti crumble when I sliced it?
Hazelnut Biscotti can crumble if the first-baked loaf is cut while very hot or if the knife crushes the nuts. Let the loaf cool until firm, then use a sharp serrated knife and cut with a gentle sawing motion.

What is Hazelnut Biscotti?
Hazelnut Biscotti is an Italian twice-baked biscuit made with a sweet dough, usually containing flour, eggs and hazelnuts. The dough is first baked as a loaf, sliced, then baked again until the pieces are dry and crisp. That second bake gives it its characteristic crunch and makes it easy to keep.
In Italy it is often served with coffee or dipped in vin santo; elsewhere, it works just as well with tea or an espresso as an afternoon treat. It is a sweet, fairly energy-dense biscuit, with 430 kcal per 100 g. Its firm texture is made for dunking, so enjoy a piece with an unsweetened drink if you want to keep the snack simple.
