Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or sturdy spatula until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the chopped nuts and optional add-ins like mini chocolate chips or raisins until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough into six equal portions. Roll each portion into a log approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each log.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove the logs from the oven and allow them to rest for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300Β°F (150Β°C).
Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheets.
Return the slices to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time, until they are golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow the Kamish Bread to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks, or freeze for extended storage.
