If you have ever been in Scandinavia, Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia or Greece or plan on going.

You may decide that you want breakfast included in your stay and I would bet you will be  served a certain type of bread.

It is a crisp, sweetened bread, that is made with eggs and of course baked twice. Hence the name Biscottate, in Italy anyway. This type of bread originated in East Prussia.

When I first tried it I am sorry to say I thought it was the Italians way of making toast. Boy was I wrong, it has a delicate sweet taste, I would probably say more like a Brioche Bread that is double baked.

The first time I tried a Biscottate was a store bought variety, that is a little on the thin small side. But then… I happened to be in my local bakery and I discovered fresh made Biscotte / Breakfast Biscotti in bags.

From Regular to Whole Wheat to even Gluten Free. I think I grabbed one of each. I never went back to store bought again.
