Here you go....

BISCOTTI
FORMULA
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon anise seeds
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup whole almonds (I used shaved)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar, for coating

EQUIPMENT
One medium mixing bowl
Platesetter & pizza stone
Parchment paper
Pastry brush

PROCESS

Mix all dry ingredients. add wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Stir in almonds. Divide dough into three equal parts.

On a floured surface, roll each piece into a log about one inch thick. Transfer log to parchment paper. Use platesetter and pizza stone. Brush with egg and coat with sugar. Egg at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes on pizza stone.

Cool approximately 5 minutes, or long enough that you can touch it, but they are still soft. Remove the biscotti from the pizza stone. With a knife, cut the biscotti on a slight bias to finger-width thickness.

Arrange the cut biscotti pieces on the parchment paper and recook for an additional 5 minutes at 400 degrees. Enjoy your biscotti.
