Italian Biscotti (Cantucci)

👩‍🍳 Let's bake!

1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix in eggs, vanilla, and orange zest to form a stiff dough.
2. Knead in the almonds.
3. Shape into two logs about 6 cm wide on a lined sheet.
4. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 25 minutes until set and lightly golden.
5. Cool 10 minutes, then slice each log diagonally into 1.5 cm pieces with a serrated knife.
6. Lay slices cut-side down and bake again 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until dry and crisp.
7. Cool completely; they harden as they cool.
