Biscotti is up there in my "Top 5 Favorite foods in the World" And To be honest. I've never had a Biscotti I didn't like! My aunt Angela (Full Blooded Italian) Taught me her basic Biscotti dough and told me, It could be altered a million and a half ways, to create different Flavors. Seeing how I've fell in love with all things Hazelnut thanks to my Godmother. I figured that this could work, and boy I was right! I gave this to my Aunt for a housewarming gift, Her and her mother loved it. And I know you will too :)

    Before we start, First: I must let you all know. PLEASE DO NOT USE SELF RISING FLOUR. They will Rise way too much and be ruined. Second: If you do not know how to cut biscotti, and desire the traditional shape, I reccomend you watch a tutorial video how to cut, If my instructions do not provide enough detail.
