# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

08 - Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into pieces about 3/4 inch thick.
09 - Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, flip slices, then bake an additional 6 to 8 minutes until crisp and lightly golden.
10 - Transfer biscotti to a wire rack and cool completely.
