Method

1. Preheat a conventional oven to 180 °C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Wash the orange and grate the orange zest; in a bowl mix the wholemeal flour, sugar, baking powder and orange zest.
3. Add the eggs and knead with your hands until you have a firm, slightly sticky dough, then work in the whole almonds.
4. With floured hands shape a log about 4 cm wide and 2 cm high and place it on the tray; bake for 15 minutes, until golden and firm to the touch.
5. Take it out, let it cool for 5 minutes and cut it with a serrated knife into diagonal slices about 1 cm thick: piping hot it crumbles, cold it snaps.
6. Lay the slices flat on the tray and toast for another 8–10 minutes, until dry and golden on both sides; let them cool, and they turn crunchy.
