Dried Fig And Hazelnut Biscotti
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
- 3/4 cup dried figs, coarsely chopped
- 12 ounces good-quality dark chocolate, chopped
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar, butter, lemon zest, fennel seed and salt in a large bowl to blend. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Stir in the figs and hazelnuts.
- Form the dough into 2 logs. Bake until light golden, about 25-30 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.
- Place the logs on the cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the log on a diagonal into 1/2 to 3/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the biscotti, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake the biscotti until they are pale golden, about 10-15 minutes. Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
- Stir the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts. Drizzle the chocolate over the biscotti. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 35 minutes.
