How to Make Classic Italian Almond Biscotti
- Preheat your 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 melted butter. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the sliced almonds.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a log about 12 inches long and 2.5 inches wide.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the log is lightly golden brown.
- Let the log cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, slice the log into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Arrange the slices, cut-side down, on the baking sheet.
- Return to the oven, now lowered to 250°F (120°C), for 30-60 minutes, or until firm and dry. Keep an eye on them – you want them firm, not burnt!
- Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving and storing in an airtight container.
