Tozzetti
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for work surface
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups blanched almonds
- Preheat oven to 325u0b0. Whisk baking powder, salt, and 1 3/4 cups flour in a medium bowl; set aside. Using an electric mixer on medium-high, beat sugar and butter in a medium bowl until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend between additions and occasionally scraping sides of bowl, until combined. Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients, and mix just to blend. Fold in almonds.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead just to bring together, about 2 times. Form into a log about 14" long, 2" wide, and 1" thick. Place log on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake until puffed, cracked in spots, and starting to brown, 25-30 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack and let log cool.
- Using a serrated knife, slice log diagonally 1/2" thick. Arrange slices on same sheet; bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Turn and bake until other side is golden brown, 5-10 minutes longer. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack. Let tozzetti cool.
- DO AHEAD:
baking powder, kosher salt, flour, sugar, unsalted butter, eggs, blanched almonds
