To bake

Approx. 20 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 180 °C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for approx. 10 mins.

To cut

Cut the dough into slices approx. 1.5 cm wide, place flat on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

To bake

Bake for approx. 8 mins., turn the cantucci, bake for a further 8 mins. Remove from the oven, leave the cantucci to cool on a rack.

Chocolate coating

Place the chocolate in a thin-sided bowl and suspend over a gently simmering bain-marie, ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water. Melt the chocolate, stir until smooth, transfer to a small bowl. Dip the cantucci halfway into the chocolate, allow the excess to drip off, place on a baking tray lined with baking paper, leave to dry.
