Directions

Stir in the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until just moistened, the dough should be very dry.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead for 1 to 2 minutea, then divide in half.
Roll each piece into an 10-inch log, flatten slightly to about ¾ inch high and 4 inches wide. Place the logs side by side on one of the prepared baking sheets.
Bake until lightly browned and firm, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
Keep the oven on, switch the oven racks to the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Slice the logs on the diagonal into cookies ½ inch thick. Arrange, cut-side down, on the 2 baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes.
Turn the biscotti over and rotate the pans from top to bottom; bake until dry, about 20 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Storage in an air-tight container.
