Tips:

  • Use a good quality red wine for the best flavor. A dry red wine with medium body and low tannins, such as a Merlot or Pinot Noir, is a good choice.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the biscotti tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the biscotti hold their shape.
  • Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown and crisp. Underbaked biscotti will be soft and chewy, while overbaked biscotti will be hard and dry.
  • Let the biscotti cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help them keep their shape.

Conclusion:

Red wine biscotti are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover red wine. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy these tasty cookies in no time.
