| Ingredients | |||
| 2 | cups | flour, unbleached, all purpose | |
| 1 | cup | sugar | |
| 1 | teaspoon | baking soda | |
| 1/4 | teaspoon | salt | |
| 2 | large | eggs | |
| 1 | large | egg yolks | |
| 1 | teaspoon | vanilla | |
| 1 | tablespoon | orange zest, freshly grated | |

Directions: | |||
| In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, blend the flour, the sugar, the baking soda and the salt until combined well. 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. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead it several times and halve it. Working on a large buttered and floured baking sheet, with floured hands form each piece of dough into a flattish log 12 inches long and 2 inches wide, arrange the logs at least 3 inches apart on the sheet, and brush them with the egg wash. Bake the logs in the middle of a preheated 300 degree F oven for 50 minutes and them cool on the baking rack for 10 minutes. On a cutting board, cut the logs crosswise on the diagonal into 1/2 inch thick slices, arrange the biscotti, cut sides down, on the baking sheet and bake them, in the 300 degree F oven for 15 minutes on each side. Note: it may take a bit longer in the oven to dry the biscotti. Transfer the biscotti to racks to cool and store them in airtight containers. MAKES: about 48 biscotti | |||
