INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 🧂 9 ounces all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 9 ounces superfine sugar
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🥚 2 medium eggs
    • 🥚 1 egg yolk
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 💧 1 tablespoon water

  • Mix-ins

    • 🌰 2 ounces roughly chopped hazelnuts
    • 🌰 1 ½ ounces roughly chopped almonds
    • 1 teaspoon whole anise seeds

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Combine flour, sugar, eggs, egg yolk, baking powder, and vanilla extract in a food processor. Blend until the mixture forms a ball, scraping the sides of the bowl once or twice. Turn mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead in hazelnuts, almonds, and anise seeds.

3

Beat egg yolk and water together in a bowl.

4

Divide dough into 3 pieces and roll into logs about 1 1/2 inches wide. Place onto the prepared baking sheet at least 2 inches apart. Brush with egg yolk-water mixture.

5

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

6

Remove from oven and reduce heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Cut logs diagonally into 1-inch slices and lay cut-sides down on the baking sheet. Return cantuccini to the oven until dry and firm, 30 to 40 minutes more.

7

Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
