Ingredients

• 280 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest (from 1 large orange)
• 60 grams Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 100 grams Whole almonds (toasted and roughly chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice (freshly squeezed)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, orange zest, melted butter, and orange juice.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped toasted almonds until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log approximately 30 cm (12 inches) long and 5 cm (2 inches) wide.

Step 7

Place the log onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the log is lightly golden and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the log cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 150°C (300°F).

Step 9

Once cooled slightly, use a serrated knife to slice the log diagonally into 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thick pieces.

Step 10

Place the biscotti slices back onto the baking sheet, cut side up, and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes. Flip the slices and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the biscotti are crisp and golden.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack. Serve with coffee or tea, and enjoy!
