How to make
The flour is sifted and the baking powder and grated peel are added to it.
Separately, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla, until a fluffy mixture is obtained.
The dry mixture is gradually added to them, mixed with a wooden spoon or spatula, until a thick and sticky mixture is obtained.
Add the chocolate and stir, until it is distributed.
Cut 2 sheets of cling film and divide half of the dough onto each one, by forming baguettes. Slightly press on top, but do not thin it out, because when baking, the dough will slightly spill to the sides.
Place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Unwrap from the cling film and place it in a tray covered with baking paper. Bake at 360°F (180°C) for 25 minutes.
Take out the cantuccini from the oven and leave them to cool for 5 minutes. While still slightly warm, cut diagonally into slices.
Arrange them again in a tray and bake the homemade biscotti for 10-15 minutes in a heated oven at 340°F (170°C) to dry them well.
Usually cantuccini with pieces of chocolate are served with red wine, but they also go great with coffee ;)
