  • On a lightly floured board, roll the dough into 2 logs, each about 12 inches long.
  • Place them on a baking sheet.
  • Bake until side are firm and the tops are cracked and no longer wet looking, about 20 minute Cool to room temperature.
  • Decrease oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
  • Cut the logs inot slices 3/4-inch thick.
  • Place them, cut side up, on a baking sheet.
  • Bake until dry and firm, about 25 minute.

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread some white chocolate on a cut side of each biscotti.
  • Place the biscotti, white chocolate side down, on the baking tray.
