How to Make Anise Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons anise seeds, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into two logs, each about 14 inches long and 1 1/2 inches thick.
  6. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches between them.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the logs are firm to the touch.
  8. Transfer the logs to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  9. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  10. Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  11. Stand the slices on their sides on the baking sheet.
  12. Bake for another 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  13. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before storing.
  14. Store biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one month.
