How to Make Authentic Biscotti
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the eggs, almond extract, and zest of 1 lemon. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the almonds and candied peel.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
- Place the log onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
- Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Arrange the slices, cut-side down, on the baking sheet.
- Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
