What is BISCOTTI ??

  

"Biscotti" is the plural form of biscotto. The word originates from the medieval Latin word biscoctus, meaning "twice-cooked." It defined oven baked goods that were baked twice, so they were very dry and could be stored for long periods of time. Such nonperishable food was particularly useful during journeys and wars, and twice baked breads were a staple food of the Roman Legions.(Wikipedia)

When you browse for biscotti recipe you will find many varieties (chocolate, vanilla, green tea, with different kind nuts, chocolate chips or dry fruit) but in general you will find 2 type of biscotti. One is biscotti that has no oil/butter/margarine, this type is the original Italian recipe. The other is biscotti with butter/oil/margarine that usually comes from American recipe. But no matter what the variation are, biscotti always have unique thick oval shape. Because biscotti is thick and quite hard, people usually dunk it to liquid to softened it, that is why biscotti is a perfect cookie for coffee.

Sebagai yang mengaku penggemar coklat, wajib coba cake coklat ini. Ada yang menyebut cake ini dengan molten chocolate cake, chocolate fondant atau chocolate lava cake. Ciri khas cake ini yaitu apabila di belah bagian tengahnya akan keluar coklat yang mengalir dari dalam cakenya. Jadi cake ini dipanggang setengah matang, tidak sampai mengeras atau matang sempurna. Untuk mendapatkan cake yang melted sewaktu dibelah, kesulitannya ada pada proses memanggangnya. Tapi dibilang sulit juga nggak, intinya apabila pinggiran cake dicetakan sudah mulai mengering dan bagian tengah masih basah dan goyang apabila digerakan itu tandanya cake siap untuk di angkat. Waktu memanggangnya tergantung ukuran mold atau cetakan yang dipakai dan panas oven yang berbeda-beda. Semakin besar cetakan waktu memanggang akan lebih lama, jadi perhatikan saja apakah pinggiran cakenya sudah melepas dari cetakannya tapi bagian tengah masih basah.
