Ingredients

• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 70 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 60 milliliters Marsala wine
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 100 grams Chopped almonds
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Then, mix in the cooled butter, Marsala wine, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a rough dough forms.

Step 6

Add the chopped almonds and orange zest to the dough and knead gently until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each piece into a log about 10 inches (25 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch and lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the logs from the oven and let them cool for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).

Step 10

Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) thick biscotti.

Step 11

Arrange the biscotti slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crisp and golden.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
