Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, line baking sheets with parchment paper, and dust with flour.
  • Place the sugar, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla, and almond extract in a large bowl and whisk until very pale and airy (about 5 minutes on high speed).
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix together until just barely combined.
  • Stir in the almonds and divide the dough in half.
  • Place half the dough on one side of the prepared baking sheet, and the other half on the other side.
  • Lightly dust with flour and shape into 2 long loaves (approx. 13-inches long and 2-inches wide).
  • Bake until puffed and cracked on top, and just beginning to turn golden around the edges (about 35 minutes).
  • Cool for 10 minutes, then cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Place the slices on a baking sheet, cut side up, and bake a second time (turning each slice over halfway through baking) until crisp and toasty (about 10 to 15 minutes).
