Recipe detials: Biscotti Di Greve (Orange Almond Biscotti)

Ingredients
2	cups	flour, unbleached, all purpose
1	cup	sugar
1	teaspoon	baking soda
1/4	teaspoon	salt
2	large	eggs
1	large	egg yolks
1	teaspoon	vanilla
1	tablespoon	orange zest, freshly grated
1 1/2	cups	almonds, whole, toasted lightly & coarse, chopped
		---egg wash---
1	large	egg
1	teaspoon	water, beaten with egg
Directions:
In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, blend the flour, the sugar, the baking soda and the salt until combined well. In a small bowl whisk together the whole eggs, the yolk, the vanilla and the zest, add the mixture to the flour mixture, beating until a dough is formed and stir in the almonds. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead it several times and halve it. Working on a large buttered and floured baking sheet, with floured hands form each piece of dough into a flattish log 12 inches long and 2 inches wide, arrange the logs at least 3 inches apart on the sheet, and brush them with the egg wash. Bake the logs in the middle of a preheated 300 degree F oven for 50 minutes and them cool on the baking rack for 10 minutes. On a cutting board, cut the logs crosswise on the diagonal into 1/2 inch thick slices, arrange the biscotti, cut sides down, on the baking sheet and bake them, in the 300 degree F oven for 15 minutes on each side. Note: it may take a bit longer in the oven to dry the biscotti. Transfer the biscotti to racks to cool and store them in airtight containers. MAKES: about 48 biscotti
