Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    ~2 min
  3. 3

    Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the dry ingredients and mix well.

    ~1 min
  4. 4

    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter.

    ~2 min
  5. 5

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The dough will be sticky.

    ~3 min
  6. 6

    Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a log approximately 10-12 inches long and 3 inches wide, about 0.75 inches thick. Use a spatula or lightly floured hands to help shape.

    ~5 min
  7. 7

    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the log is golden brown and firm to the touch.

    ~30 min
  8. 8

    Remove the log from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).

    ~10 min
  9. 9

    Carefully transfer the slightly cooled log to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 0.5-inch thick cookies. You may need to gently re-shape them if they've spread.

    ~7 min
  10. 10

    Place the sliced biscotti back onto the baking sheet, cut-side down. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the tops of the biscotti and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

    ~4 min
  11. 11

    Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the biscotti are golden brown and crisp on both sides.

    ~20 min
  12. 12

    Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.

    ~15 min

Tips

  • For cleaner slices, let the baked log cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. A serrated knife can also be helpful.
  • Store cooled biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They are excellent for dipping into coffee or a dessert wine.
