• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
• 1/4 cup millet flour
• 1/4 cup corn flour or masa harina
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 1 Tbs. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 8 dried apricots, finely chopped ( 1/2 cup)
• 3 large eggs
• 4 Tbs. vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp. almond extract

8. Stir just enough of liquid into flour mixture until dry, shaggy dough forms.
9. Reserve remaining liquid.
10. Divide dough in 2 pieces.
11. Wet hands with water to prevent sticking, and roll each piece of dough into 12-inch log, flattening tops of logs so theyre each about 1 1/2 inches high.
12. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper, and place logs at least 5 inches apart on sheet.
13. Brush tops with remaining liquid mixture.
14. Bake logs 25 to 30 minutes, or until edges are browned and firm, and centers have puffed and developed a skin, but are still slightly soft.
15. Cool 30 minutes, then slice crosswise on the bias into 1/2-inch-wide slices using serrated knife.
16. Reduce oven temperature to 300F.
17. Return sliced biscotti to baking sheet, bottom-side down and spaced at least 1/4 inch apart, and bake 20 to 30 minutes more, or until golden, crisp, and dry.
