Method

  1. 1 Roast whole almonds for 8 minutes, then let them cool without grinding.
  2. 2 Mix the flour with the sugar, eggs, baking powder, and orange zest until you have a sticky dough.
  3. 3 Mix in whole almonds and roll into two long, flat blocks.
  4. 4 Bake for 25 minutes at 180 degrees, then remove and let cool for 10 minutes.
  5. 5 Slice diagonally into 1.5 cm thick slices using a serrated knife while the block is still warm.
  6. 6 Bake a second time at 150 degrees for 15 minutes until the cake is dry and firm; this step helps the cake keep for months.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 48 min

    Replace step 4: lightly spray oil onto the biscotti block, bake the first batch at 195 degrees for 16 minutes and rotate the tray after 8 minutes; the block will set faster, still slice and bake the second batch separately.
