How are cantuccini eaten in Italy?
You may be wondering why this is even a question. If you have ever been to Italy, you must know that Cantuccini are unusual in a way that they are not dipped in coffee (as cookies and biscuits in other parts of the world are. In Italy, Cantuccini is traditionally served with a sweet, marvelous dessert wine called Vin Santo.
Almost all of the restaurants in Tuscany serve the traditional dessert known as “Cantuccini e Vin Santo.”
How do they make the Cantuccini so crunchy?
The biscuits are double-baked to make them extraordinarily crunchy, and this trick makes them different from other biscuits. First of all, the cantuccini dough is baked in the form of a loaf. When the loaf gets a golden brown color, it is removed from the oven. Then the loaf is carefully cut into slices which are placed in a baking tray and baked again.
Have you ever been to Tuscany? If yes, you must know about the cantuccini and Vin Santo. However, you don’t need to visit Tuscany to grab a packet of cantuccini for this dessert. Cantuccini is easily available online. However, if you are passionate about cooking and love making everything from scratch, we have included the foolproof recipe for cantuccini just for you.
The only tricky part of making cappuccino at home is cutting them. Use a sharp serrated knife and cut with a firm hand if you want your cappuccino to turn out attractive and presentable in shape. (don’t worry if you were unable to slice the cantuccini loaf for this recipe finely – we just need to add cantuccini crumbs here).
