List of Ingredients



• 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  
• 1 cup sugar
  
• 1 tsp baking soda
  
• 2 eggs, large
  
• 1 egg yolk, large
  
• 1 tsp vanilla
  
• 1 T orange zest, freshly grated
  
• 1 1/2 cups almonds, whole; toasted
  
• 1 egg, large beaten with water (EGG WASH)
  






Instructions



1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, blend the flour, the sugar, the baking soda and the salt until the mixture is combined well.
   
2. In a small bowl whisk together the whole eggs, the yolk, the vanilla and the zest, add the mixture to the flour mixture, beating until a dough is formed and stir in the almonds.
   
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead it several times and havled it. Working on a large buttered and floured baking sheet, with floured hands form each piece of dough into a flattish log 12" long and 2" wide, arrange the logs at least 3" apart on the sheet, and brush them with the egg wash.
   
4. Bake the logs in the middle of a preheated 300 degree oven for 50 minutes and then cool on the baking rack for 10 minutes.
   
5. On a cutting board, cut the logs crosswise on the diagonal into 1/2" thick slices, arrange the biscotti, cut sides down, on the baking sheet and bake them, in the 300 degrees oven for 15 minutes on each side. Transfer the biscotti to racks to cool and store them in airtight containers.
