Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
~2 min - 3
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the dry ingredients and mix well.
~1 min - 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
~2 min - 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
~3 min - 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
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the log is golden brown and firm to the touch.
~30 min - 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
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
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
Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the biscotti are golden brown and crisp on both sides.
~20 min - 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.
