“I even made a super-traditional version, so Italians legally cannot get mad at me.”
I’ll take that bet.
the only problem is they way to long to be even close to the original ones, the should no longer than 10 cm
@@TheMRatchet That is such an italian thing to complain about.
No you don't understand he didn't make the true traditional most authentic version localized entirely to three grandmas in a shepherd village 80 miles from the nearest civilization in rural piemonte
@@serpensviktorijewiczvonarm1011 Italy in a nutshell 😁
But we complain anyways, because biscotti means cookies and so it’s a general word, it could be any kind of cookies, these particular cookies are from Tuscany and they are called “cantucci”
"Italians legally can't get mad at me"
Bold words there, Babish.
Bald words
you forgot the hand motions to properly convey your anger. XD
This episode is a BOTCHED in the making. Its meta AF.

1:28 - You aren’t being pedantic about cutting almonds in half. You are being meticulous. I am being pedantic.
this comment is so self-aware it's a little scary
Hmm, yes. Shallow and pedantic. Indeed.

ped·ant·ry
/ˈped(ə)ntrē/
noun
excessive concern with minor details and rules.
"to object to this is not mere pedantry"
I'd say Babish's almond cutting counts as pedantic.
I worked at an MSP that shared a coffee machine with another company's accounting department (long story, dont ask.) I was new, and on the early shift, so I started making coffee. One day there was a plate of the most AMAZING home made orange chocolate biscotti with a note that said "for the new guy that actually knows how to make coffee; la ringrazio tanto. Grandma's recipe."
I sometimes miss those cookies.
wholesome
Did you ever meet the person who made them for you?
That's so wholesome…
@@allaces14400 yes! After I put in my notice to quit
That’s amazing my guy
Babish: "Biscotti"
Italians: "What kind of biscotti?"
Italians after watching the video: "Ah, he meant Cantuccini. Why didn't he say so?"
Cantucci dip in vin Santo 😍
same as anything not american really
We do have those here in Calaunya, we call then carquinyolis. After watching the recipie, i'm pretty sure they are the same. Curious
I read this in the worst Italian accent ever because I’m American lol
@@plumer56 haha! me too!
Instant coffee granules in the chocolate biscotti and then dipped in dark and white chocolate is truly the Biscotti And Coffee Experience
Instant espresso*
How much instant coffee do you add to the mix?
You've got that right Jess! My Ma used to use instant coffee in her double dark
chocolate cake when she was still alive and it was magnificent!
@@MattJamesHarrell For the same size batch as Babish's chocolate mix I'd but 1-2tbs depending how much you want the coffee flavour forward.
Someone mentioned/corrected to espresso powder and you could totally do that but then I'd make sure to wet/steep it first if you're using espresso over instant coffee powder as I've found the espresso tends to be a bit grittier while the coffee powder (ie: ya run of the mill Blend42) 'melts' in the batter mix by itself better
Coffee + chocolate = bliss
Well done Babish. In italy the word biscotti is the perfect equivalent of the english word biscuits, or cookie. Every kind of biscuit in Italy is called biscotto [biscotti is for plural]. It's a generic term. This particular kind of biscotto, quite dry and almondish, is, as far as I know, a typical product of the Toscana region, where is called "cantuccio" and is served at the end of the lunch or dinner with some sweet wine. I think there also other places in Italy where you can find this kind of biscotto, or something similar, but obviously under specific, regional name.
Hey man, thank you so much. I was "arguing" with a frieds a couple of weeks ago about this. I always called them biscotti, she called them cantuccini.
Actually they're known all around Italy as cantucci or cantuccini, I'm roman and we call them like that even if we don't necessarily know they're from Tuscany and in the rest of Italy too.
It's such a well known treat that everybody calls it the same way, like cassata siciliana for example.
@@shammerHammer Call them cazzo
As a Roman I actually call them tozzetti, but they are usually smaller
@@pumpkin8729 Boh io tozzetti non l'ho mai sentito ma ci sta
I love how he was sponsored by a toothpaste this episode,
When he is making coffee’s favorite friend Biscotti, and he has a partnership with Trade Coffee.
As I've said whenever he's had ice cream episodes sponsored by sensodyne:
If you don't know why sensodyne is the perfect sponsor to a coffee-adjacent episode, I really hope you never have to find out.
Signed,
Someone who has had the breeze make his teeth ache
Toothpaste is the perfect sponsor for a biscuit so dry that eating it without coffee or wine can break a tooth.
I swear every time my bf and I think of something we want to try and make, magically one of your videos making exactly what we want to try appears from the heavens like "Here my children, let me guide you on your culinary journey."
When Babish made a double chocolate version and implied he was going to add something to it I fully expected a coating of chocolate because I have no faith in Andrew's sense of self-restraint.
This is basics, he's not going to make the chocolate himself.
I love making biscotti! Here are some of my favorite flavor combos I've tried
Plain dough:
lemon zest, lavender
cinnamon, cardamom, coffee
orange zest, cranberry, pistachio
candied pecans, bourbon
Chocolate dough:
coffee, dark choco chips
walnut, white and dark choco chips
orange zest, freeze dried raspberry
dark choco chips, salted caramel
peanut butter cups/chips
so many great options using the same recipe :D
I dont like tasting coffee granules in the biscuit, do you think i could dissolve them in a teeny tiny bit of water (half a teaspoon or so) then add them to the batter?
@@hafsa8891 I typically use espresso/coffee powder dissolved in a little liquid, it works well!
Hey any tips never made one or had one in a very long time cannot figure out a recipe that be trusted!! Would really like to know but of insight from your experience?
@@sanaduggall Hi! Sorry for the delayed response. I usually check out Claire Saffitz and Bon Appetit for my baking recipes but Babish's is great too! In terms of tips, I would say don't overmix. It's a common mistake in baking but as you continue to mix, you're developing gluten (the stuff that gives bread it's chewiness) which is unpleasant in things like cookies and biscotti. And just practice! The only way to get better at something is to keep trying. :)
Since it's the 25th anniversary of Blue's Clues, make either Banana Muffins (but don't eat them) or Blue's birthday cake & cupcakes shaped like a paw print
Yes to this!
Somebody please vote for this or comment this on UA-cam or Twitter for Babish to notice
This please... I cried when i saw Steve the other day
no idea what this is, but do it already...
Sub banana for avocado. Tastes the same.
Fun Fact: "Biscotti" is just Italian for "Cookies" and can be used for any kind of cookie in Italian. :)
See also "prosciutto" which just means ham
I thought it stood for "twice cooked" and that's why it has the name biscotti, bis being the "twice" and cotti being the "cooked" 🤷
What’s the Italian name for this cookie then?

"The Italians can't get mad at me..."
FAMOUS LAST WORDS ANDREW!
"I even made them super traditional so Italians legally can't get mad"
Jokes on you Babish, we call those Cantucci, Biscotti Is just Biscuits in Italian, didn't even have liquor with those, tsk tsk
Awesome work tho, I'd love to try the other two recipes
"masa" is just "dough" in Spanish and yet the USA and some latino people there insist in calling some mixtures "masa" in English speaking contexts. Same for other words that don't come to mind right now.
It really depends on where you ask. Italians might not care but some other countries do, so it's not obvious.
Of course, I'm nitpicking, so don't mind me.
@@nodezsh From my (albeit limited) knowledge, the US uses masa as shorthand for "Masa Harina" which is a very specific form of corn flour that's been treated with lime to make hominy. While the term literally translates to "dough flour," it has a specific meaning here. Kind of like some places using the word "toffee" to refer to all kinds of sweets, but the US has a very specific definition for it. It's just a weird cultural thing 🤷♀️
I know them as cantuccini, is that a mistake ?
Also you can eat them with an amaretto right ?
@@PLGambinos that's what they're called.
To my knowledge they are usually shorter than the ones in the video and theres no need to cut the almonds :)
Idea for Binging: Chef Paulo’s sauce from the suite life of Zack and Cody. Specifically wondering what he’d do for the secret something for taste and the olive oil with a questionable past.
I'm always watching these videos when I'm hungry and craving food but too lazy to make it

then stop being lazy lol
As a person with sensitive teeth, I thank Sensodyn for sponsoring this video. They've helped my sensitive teeth and helped Andrew present an enjoyable video of one of my favorite snacks. Not too often you get to double up like that. A word of advice to my fellow sensitive teeth sufferers, should your sensitivity persist, keep using the Sensodyn every time you brush and get off your butts and make time to go see your dentist before your problem gets worse! If you see your dentist early, you're much more likely to be able to handle the issue with only Sensodyn and treatment from your dentist. If you put things off, you're more likely to have the condition develop into a situation where the Sensodyn can't help and your dentist will have to spend a lot more time in your mouth.
I love when sensodyne sponsors Babish. As a teen I had gingivitis that hurt when I brushed with other toothpaste and sensitivity to anything with icing. Sensodyne got rid of both. I still have positive feelings about the toothpaste that essentially saved my teeth.
What did the intergalactic cookie say to the other intergalactic cookie?
Beam me up biscotti.
When I hear Biscotti I always remember Jordan Schlansky correcting Conan. "Biscotto. Biscotti implies there are more than one".
Just like salami, zucchini, etc. Those are italian plural. Also biscotti is the litteral translation of cookies
Literally the first thing i thought of when i saw the title
@@soqquadro7672 Let's not forget about "one panini, please".
@@edoardoruggeri1 and get this: panini in USA is used mostly to indicate just one toasted sandwich. In Italy is used to indicate two or more sandwiches.
@@TheBiggRobb Yep, and funnily enough in Italy we call toasted sandiwiches just "toast". So we just swapped names with the UK/US.
I remember once trying to make maple pecan biscotti because I saw maple extract in the spice cabinet. It was my first time baking biscotti, so it was a little on the crumbly side.
I’m still waiting for the Iron Chef Japan Series to be tackled. I go in to watch one episode and end up spending the rest of the day watching. Babish picking some of his favorite dishes to recreate would be amazing.
In Italian, "biscotti" is "cookies/biscuits" (yes, plural). What Babish made are cantucci (cantuccio for singular), which is only one of the thousands of types of Italian biscuits. Cantucci are traditionally way smaller and consumed with vin santo (a dessert wine), but I prefer them as they are or with yogurt.
i was about to make the exact same comment, but you did, so i didn't need to. cheers!
Where im from we usually have them with Amaro or yeh with coffee if you dont want an alcoholic version.
Cantuccio nel caffè 🤤🤤🤤
woah mama mia bud
The new SENSODYNE with BISCOTTI flavor, only now, only here!
I'm surprised he didn't include a clip from "Frasier" of the scene where Niles is meeting Martin at Cafe Nervosa, and tells the waitress to call the biscotti a "cookie" for Martin's benefit... except when the waitress does that, Martin corrects her, revealing that he knows exactly what a biscotti is.
I like how you added the ... to add suspense.
Doesn’t he only add clips to his fictional recreation video?
@@jenieuwedocent Haha, thanks. XD
@@TieflingKumasi Yes, but considering "Frasier" is his favorite show, I'm still surprised he didn't think to make this vid a recreation one... oh well, I guess he just forgot, or it would have been too difficult since he was also advertising toothpaste.
In tuscany we call these Cantucci and they are traditionally eaten with a sweet dessert wine called Vin Santo, 10/10 would recommend
Please make the Baroness lunch mentioned in 2021 Cruella movie:
Soy salmon, lemon-zest risotto, cucumber sliced into two-inch diagonals at an 8th of an inch width sprinkled with seven leaves of parsley, (shredded, not torn.)
Latin, bis = twice, coctus = cooked: thus biscoctus means twice cooked. Thus biscotti is derived from a work meaning twice cooked... sometimes rendered as just toast.
This is likely why we Brits have biscuits. We may have copied the Italians and anglocised the name.
You are correct! In portuguese we call it "biscoito". Romance languages are very similar, specially italian, portuguese and spanish!
@@spwicks1980 in Britain the word was mediated through french, I think
which is also where the word ricotta comes from: cotta cooked re again, so twice cooked cheese - coagulating the proteins left in the whey after cheesemaking.
@@spwicks1980 nah from the french. “Cuit” is cooked but obviously from the same Latin root. And because Latin is just ancient Italian I guess we’re both right.
A yummy dish to make is Alarm Pepper Churros from Victor and Valentino
I went by the recipe. The only things I will change next time would be to lower the salt to 1/4 teaspoon and I would use floured hands to shape the dough. I tried wet hands and it made a mess. I liked that this recipe used no fats. They came out perfect as far as shape and texture. They cut cleanly , I did not have a single one break unlike other recipes I have tried. Thanks so much for this recipe.
Thank you 🙏🏻
My Grandfather is from Italy! I want to thank you for this recipe, I made a batch for him and he had such a happy look on his face.
Please make Gagosi donuts from Scooby- Doo Frankencreepy movie
How about making a cod sandwich with extra sauce from Hilda episode, "The Draugen"?
My best friends mom every Christmas makes Biscotti. She always makes a ginger( with fresh ginger and crystallized ginger) white chocolate one, traditional almond, and two years ago she made a Chinese five spice and white sesame version which slapped so hard. I do love an excellent biscotti!
Perfect! I'll use your recipe for my first batches of biscotti. Love you narration.
At this point it is just stuff that babish really wants to make
It's nice :) being able to make what you want
I mean if you could get paid to make whatever food you were hungry for wouldn't you
Those look delicious
I just made this recipe and it is very delicious! Crunchy!
Another great video Chef. Thanks for making this look so easy. Much appreciated!
Happy Cooking,

Could you do a Minecraft special episode? Where you essentially make a compilations of a bunch of the more simple and basic dishes such as Pumpkin Pie, Pork Chops, Mushroom Stew and more.
And of course the cake lol
Suspicious stew could be quite interesting

Given how much parchment paper gets used in a kitchen, how has nobody approached Babish re: a sponsorship?
Bounty paper towels did for a bit, I don't think there's been a parchment paper sponsorship yet though
0:21 That face is absolutely golden.
This music intantly takes me to a very calm and content place in my mind. Many a times i was coaxed to sleep with a basics video
Please make Smothered Porkchops/Chicken Fried Bacon/Chicken Fried Bananas from Everybody Hates Chris episode, "Everybody Hates The Gout"
Of course we can still argue.
Those with almonds are meant to be "cantuccini pratesi" (biscotti is the italian for cookies) the should be brushed with egg before the 1st cooking, and brown a lot more, they traditionally will be served with "vinsanto" a sweet dessert wine made with dried grapes instead the fresh ones. You should taste the original.
Great video! I will definitely be sure to use this recipe to create my own twist on biscotti in a few decades when I'm up for it or something maybe
I must say, uts been a while since I've seen one of these videos. It's rather refreshing to watch it again
Pretty please make The Fried Orb from The Owl House
A delicious dish to make is Mallow's Fluffy Poni Radish Burger from Pokemon Sun and Moon anime
Seeing Babish do more stuff from Pokemon would be a dream. The onigiri episode was incredible but more would be awesome.
Video Idea for Thanksgiving: Reeses Thanksgiving dinner from Malcom in the middle.
Someone that notoriously enjoys coffee and whiskey is probably the best candidate for a toothpaste sponsorship
Dried tangerine peel, chocolate and Sichuan pepper corns are an absolute monster of an experience. If you havent tried, you're missing out on the best in life.
Btw I feel like Biscotti taste better with a nice latte. The fatty richness of the milk adds a nice mellowness to the dry Biscotti
Now that's a wild combination. Do you mean in biscotti or in general? Do you leave the sichuan peppers and tangerine peel whole or powdered?
@@noob19087 in general. But there's no reason it won't work in a Biscotti. Maybe roughly grind the peel and peppercorns.
If I remember correctly this exact combo won the gourmet chocolate competition or something, this year
I actually think those "weird white streaks" look kinda cool and appetizing.
Yeah, but a uniform color means the chocolate is more smooth. Not _exactly_ important unless you're a master chocolatier.
I’ve been craving biscotti with my coffee all week. This video came out ever so conveniently.
It made me a happier person today Andy. Thank you!
Hey you! have a nice day!
Could you include some meals/pastries with high protein? Maybe a new series?? Bulking with Babish
Getting high protein in anything is easy. The hard part is doing that without messing up the macros balance and without having a high calorie dense food. So it would be more interesting in having a series on volume eating with a focus, as you said, on proteins! And the name you suggested is awesome!
Every single one of y'all agrees Babish brushiny intro made our Day much great:
just got my wisdom teeth out and babish is my emotional support entertainment for recovery, thank u
I used to eat these every time I visited my grandma.
Oh yeah, it’s hunger time
Can we appreciate that actual retail brands are sponsoring Babish content now?
Our boy has made it's big for real!
Yes, and it's getting pretty annoying. He's already a multi-millionaire, but now he needs to push these adverts too - 15% of this video is advertising.
as an Italian I'm truly hyped to try these variants!
For once in the past 2 years, finally, a "BASICS" With Babish that virtually anyone can actually make in their own kitchen and don't need to be a millionaire UA-cam chef to create.
could you do a basics episode on how to make our own sensodyne toothpaste at home from scratch?
I tried this recipe and it was awesome. Thanks Andrew
Thanks for the recipe, I'm definitely gonna make these for my mom!
It's astounding how often Andrew uses non-stick spray to stick parchment paper to pans.
And it doesn't even make sense - the stuff stays down with gravity, it's just a waste of resources.
Maybe you can make the Lobsters from Scooby-Doo and the Gourmet Ghost movie
Looks delicious and very beautiful! My favorite is Chocolate and Orange.
Very spectacular ingredients.
italian here and i won't get "too mad" at your rendition although: "Biscotti" is a common term for "cookies", but unlike "cookies" which people assumes it's the chocolate chips one, "biscotti" is the generic term, every cookie is a "biscotto", like saying "pasta" and there's a huge variety of pasta, which is pasta, but there's spaghetti, penne, elbow, maccheroni etc.
Moving on, you made what we call "Cantuccini" which are crunchy cookies with almonds, we usually dip them in coffee but they're best intended to be dip in Vin Santo (holy wine?) which is a dessert wine. Other two variants you made, i don't have any issues with, people can play around with ingredients and recipes all they want and i fully endorse them. Not sure i like the one dipped in half the chocolate though, it would leave the other half more bland by comparison, i like the one with the bottom coated better if i had to choose.
Im Italian and will never be mad at you Babish
My dad makes amazing biscotti
You're so awesome man, I don't even mind the toothpaste plug! Thanks for this recipe!!!

Bravo on the three types of Biscotti! Great job Babish!!
To me, dipping the biscotti into a cup of coffee “completes” the biscotti.
for a moment there I thought he was going to put the sensodyne onto the biscotti 😂
On one hand, it's weird babish is advertising toothpaste, but on the other hand, it's pretty refreshing not hearing an ad for Nord VPN or Raid shadow Legends
Ill have to show my Italian Grandmother this recipe and see what she thinks. She made these for me my whole childhood growing up and are one of my favorite Italian treats
Wow I've never been this early
Why does this feel like it was written for a sponsorship with Trade Coffee but the sponsorship fell through and he had to improvise?
I used this and his coffee cake video as inspiration for coffee cake biscotti. So cinnamon brown sugar biscotti with streusel mixed in along with mounded on top.
The streussel could have adhered better, but otherwise, only way I am drinking my coffee from now on.
thanks for the recipe! nice video
"biscotti" in Italian is the generic way we call biscuits, and there are different types of biscuit, and in particular these you made are the "cantucci"
These videos always makes our days better
Very entertaining episode!
Hi Andrew, You don't need to chop the almonds, as they will be cut when you're slicing the loaf after the first bake. The Maltese version adds chopped candied orange/lemon rind to the mixture as well which caramelise beautifully. Also the loaf should be the width of a baguette rather than a ciabatta. I've only seen mass produced ones that size.
Coffee and toothpaste don't go hand-in-hand.
Coffee is highly acidic and toothpaste is a base. Combining the two leads to a acid-base reaction which destroys the protective layer of your teeth.
Never brush right before or right after drinking coffee.
This video gives some very bad advice.
Thanks. Your videos are always a treat
Just bought Sensodyne, what a great product. Love it. It's like dessert

Get out of my search history! I was looking for biscotti recipes after hearing about them in a video. And here you are lol.
I was just googling this to make biscottis. I thought you already would've done this video. This is a sign that I must make biscottis
My family was mostly from Prato originally, where these originated. We called them biscotti. They were usually dipped in liquor, not coffee. My aunt typically dipped these in "mescolanza" (sp?), which was a mixture of whiskey, anisette, and dry vermouth. Think warm martini. It's kind of weird for me personally that the rest of the world eats these now.
