Umpa/Doug,
Does the new cookbook have a Biscotti recipe in it?

I made chocolate biscotti and anise but I made them with soy.I am re doing the recipe right now for hazelnut flour instead.The soy just goes bitter too quick. :) Yes it will be in the bakery book.

Cool! I've been playing with a recipe but the almond flour is too heavy. I was wondering of Coconut flour would work better. I'll wait for the book  ;D

Like a badge of honor, Sherrie!!   :D I'm sure they will be wonderful when you get it all worked out. Mine were almond with lemon zest but the anise . . . just like Nonna made!! Perfect for Christmas gifts! Thanks so much for all these great recipes.

Hi Umpa~
How's your biscotti recipe coming along and will it still be in the Bakery Book? I'm hoping to make some for Christmas for my dad and wondered what kind of flours/meal combination you ended up using so I can place my order now. [Gave up and decided to wait for your recipe.] ;).  I'm afraid if I wait too much longer I won't get the flours in time and wanted to get them on order. Thanks

I'm just below 3000, I wonder if that could have been "part" of my problem? (the other part being lack of skill  ;D)  Thanks for persevering with the cookies with everything else you have going on!
