Hazelnut Orange Biscotti

Ingredients:
250 gr. AP flour, plus extra for dusting
1/2 tsp. baking powder
250 gr. caster sugar
2 extra large (or 3 medium) eggs beaten and strained
200 gr. toasted hazelnuts, chopped
Zest of 1 large orange

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 300 convection and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.

Mix together the flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl and add eggs slowly to make a dough.  Mix in the hazelnuts and orange zest.

On a lightly floured surface, knead the mixture gently and divide into 2.  Roll into logs, each approximately 10 inches long.  Place on lined baking tray and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.  Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes.

Cut each log diagonally into half inch slices.  Lay the slices on the baking tray and bake 5 to 7 minutes.  Turn slices over and bake another 5 to 7 minutes.  If biscotti is still doughy, stand up slices and bake another 5 minutes.  Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack.

Variation:
You can leave out the zest, change the nuts and add a flavoring.

History:
I first saw this recipe on the Great British Baking Show.  This is Paul Hollywood's recipe.
