    Ginger, Crystallized, 1 oz(2 TBS finely chopped)
    Egg, fresh, 2 large

    1 tsp lemon zest
    1/2 tsp. almond extract

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. Divide dough in half. With lightly floured hands and on lightly floured surface, roll one half of dough into 14-inch-long rope, then transfer to prepared baking sheet. Flatten rope to 1 3/4 inch width. Roll remaining dough into another 14-inch-long rope, place 3 to 4 inches away from first rope, and then flatten.

Slide loaves onto cutting board. With a thin blade knife, cut loaves into half inch pieces (27 slices per loaf) Remove parchment paper from baking sheet. Place slices, cut sides down, back on baking sheet. (They can touch)

6. Bake until dry, another 15 minutes, turning biscotti over after seven minutes. Let cool completely on wire racks. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

    Incredible!
    Sticky dough is an understatment, but it was worth the end result to deal with it. I think I might have more than "lightly" floured the board and my hands, which didn't create any problems. Only change was to leave them in oven for probably 4-5 minutes more PER SIDE! - 11/21/08
