Savoury Caraway Cheese Biscottis # HBC

For this month challenge on Home Bakers Challenge was Biscottis . Biscottis are twice baked cookies originated from Prato , Italy . These cookies are oblong shaped almond biscuits , made dry and crunchy through the loaf of  dough while still hot and fresh from baking in the oven. Thank you +Priya Suresh  for choosing Biscottis for this months challenge , i would have not tried this at all .

 For this months challenge as usual we were given 4 biscotti recipes and we had to choose one and make them. 4 suggested recipes were :

• Savoury Caraway Cheddar Biscottis
• Eggless Oats Chocolate Biscottis
• American Style Vanilla Biscottis
• Savory Mediterranean Biscottis

I adopted the Savoury Caraway Cheddar Biscottis recipe and made quite a few changes in it . one was i used mozzarella instead of Cheddar , instead of eggs i used yogurt and for spiciness i added chili flakes and for some flavor i added dried parsley .

It is my first time baking biscottis , though by looks it doesn't look great , but it tasted really good.
