Biscotto Salute

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, anise, and lemon zest, then mix in eggs and oil to form a firm dough.

Fold in almonds, shape the dough into logs, and bake until puffed and lightly golden.

Cool the logs briefly, slice them lengthwise or diagonally into long biscuits, and arrange cut side up.

Bake again at a lower temperature until dry, crisp, and deeply golden at the edges.
