Place half of the dough on a 10" x 15" rimmed cookie sheet that has been coated with nonstick baking spray; form a slightly rounded 4" x 12" loaf that is about ¾ inch thick. Repeat with the remaining dough on a second cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 325 F.

Allow the loaves to cool for 20 to 25 minutes. then cut into ½ ~inch -thick slices. Lay the slices cut side down on the cookie sheets and bake for 15 more minutes. Turn the cookies over and bake for another 15 minutes or until very crisp. Allow to cool, then store in an airtight container. NOTE: Biscotti are very crunchy.
