- To toast almonds and hazelnuts, bake on cookie sheet for 15 min at 350 degrees. Or possibly till light golden.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease cookie sheet with paper towels dipped in oil, and flour lightly.
- Mix flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a bowl with a fork. (set aside) In a separate bowl, beat the four large whole Large eggs briefly, just to combine the Large eggs. Add in the vanilla and stir don"t beat the Large eggs into the flour mix, kneading with your hands in the bowl, till you have a homogeneous mix. Turn the dough out onto a very lightly floured wooden board. Sprinkle nuts over it and continue kneading it for a few min till the nuts are distributed throughout the dough. Leave to rest for 10 min.
- Divide into six pcs. Using your hands, shape each piece into logs no larger than two inches in diameter. Set each log on a cookie sheet far sufficient apart to allow them to expand as they bake. Press the top of each log to flatten slightly. Log should be oval shape.
- Beat egg white and water. Paint each log with egg white using pastry brush. Bake for 20 to 30 min or possibly till dry and lightly colored. Remove from oven, cold sufficient to handle.
- Reset oven to 300 degrees
- Slice each log on a diagonal no more than 1/2 inch thick using a long sharp knife. Lay biscotti flat side down on the cookie sheet, bake for 15 to 20 min.
- Transfer biscotti to rack to dry, cold, and harden for several hrs. Can be kept in a cookie tin for six weeks or possibly more.
