| 1. Preheat oven to 350. | 2. Pour the flours into a big bowl and make a well in the center large enough to place the sugar, 3 of the 4 eggs, the 2 egg yolks, the baking powder, salt, vanilla and anise seed. | 3. Gently knead the dough for 5 minutes, This is a hard dough so it needs to be convinced to gather together (I have used my kitchen-aid mixer with the dough hook with good results). | 4. Slowly add the nuts (almonds are my favorite) and keep on kneading until well incorporated, You may need some additional flour to keep it from sticking to the bowl. | 5. Butter and flour 2 cookie sheets that are at least 15 inches, Divide the dough into 4 even pieces and roll each one into a log, Place the logs well apart, 2 to each sheet,. | 6. Beat with the remaining egg and brush the top of the logs with egg. | 7. Bake the biscotti loaves for 35 minutes. | 8. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 325. | 9. Slice the biscotti and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes of baking time, Cool on racks. | 10. Variations: Melt a couple of bars of Gianduia chocolate or any Italian chocolate with nuts or praline in it, melt in a double boiler with a teapsoon of vegetable shortening, Dip half the biscotti into the chocolate and put it on a cooling rack until the chocolate hardens. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
