Greek Lemon Sesame Biscotti (Paximathakia Portokaliou) Recipe

1. 1

   Adjust oven rack to middle and upper middle positions and preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine orange juice and baking soda; set aside.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.

3. 3

   Add olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and warm water to bowl with orange juice and whisk to combine. Add sugar and whisk until well combined and lightened, about 3 minutes. Add flour mixture and stir to combine. Stir in sesame seeds.

4. 4

   On a lightly floured surface, kneed dough until it it smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Form the dough into four equal logs, each about 14-inches long. Transfer two to each baking sheet. Score the each log with 1/3-inch slices, cutting close to the bottom but not all the way through the dough.

5. 5

   Bake logs unti golden on top, about 15 minutes. Take cookies out of oven and decrease temperature to 200u00b0F.

6. 6

   When logs are cool enough to handle, use a serrated knife to cut into individual cookies. Place cookies back in the oven and bake until dry, about 1 hour.
