Baicoli

Italian biscuit, originating in Venice

  •   Media: Baicoli

Baicoli (Venetian: baìcołi) are Italian biscuits, originating in the 1700s in the city of Venice.[1][2][3] They are made with sugar, butter, flour, yeast, eggs, and salt.[3][4]

Baicoli gained their name because their shape resembled that of sea bass,[3] which in the local dialect is called baicoli.[4]

The biscuits have a long shelf life and were used as a ship's biscuit for long sea voyages.[3] Their preparation, which is long and laborious, has two acts of leavening and double baking.

Today, baicoli are commonly served with coffee and zabaglione,[2] in which they could be dipped.[3]
