Biscotti
Biscotti is an Italian biscuit which is baked twice; first in the slab form and then in the elongated biscotti shapes. This is done so that they are crisp and crunchy. I dunk it with my tea. In Italy, it is traditionally served as an after dinner dessert and dunked in a wine called vin santo. At our local favourite coffeeshop, we get one tiny biscotti with our cappuccino and it's finished with one dunk :-( Now that I have biscotti at home, I only have to perfect the art of good coffee making :-)
