biscotti

==Name==
"Biscotti" is the plural form of ''biscotto.'' The word originates from the medieval Latin word ''biscoctus'', meaning "twice-cooked." It defined oven baked goods that were baked twice, so they were very dry and could be stored for long periods of time. Such nonperishable food was particularly useful during journeys and wars, and twice baked breads were a staple food of the Roman Legions.〔(''The Origin Of Biscotti'' ). The Nibble, May 2006.〕 The word ''biscotti'', in this sense, shares its origin with the British English word "biscuit", which describes what American English-speakers refer to as a "cookie". In modern Italian, the word ''biscotti'' refers to any cookie or cracker, just as does the British use of the word "biscuit". The number of bakings or hardness is not relevant to the term. In America, the term "biscotti" refers only to the specific Italian cookie. The American pronunciation is also different from the Italian.
