Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
Add-ins
- 1 cup whole almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and sugar. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then gradually add to the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms. Fold in the chopped almonds until evenly distributed.
- Shape and bake the logs: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Divide dough into two equal portions and shape each into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place logs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden and firm to the touch.
- Slice the biscotti: Remove the logs from the oven and let them cool slightly for 10 minutes. Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully cut the logs diagonally into ¾ inch thick slices.
- Second bake for crunch: Arrange the slices cut side down back on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- Toasting the almonds before folding them into the dough enhances their flavor and crunch.
- Store biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- For variation, try adding lemon zest, anise seeds, or substituting almonds with hazelnuts or pistachios.
- If you prefer softer biscotti, reduce the second baking time by a few minutes.
