Take any biscotti recipe that appeals to you.
Bake it only "once"! That's the only trick.

Traditionally:
First bake is shaped as a log
second bake - slice the log and bake the slices again

Result of second baking: crispy/hard
(whatever you want to call it) but it's not rock hard.

FYI: My homemade biscotti are never as hard as commercial.
They are drier than the first bake, but I don't feel like
I'm going to break a tooth if I eat one.
