Cinnamon And Hazelnut Biscotti (Tozzetti Ebraici)
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups (250 grams) sugar
- 1/2 cup (125 milliliters) olive oil
- zest of 1 lemon
- 3 3/4 cups (470 grams) flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 7 ounces (200 grams) whole peeled hazelnuts or almonds, roughly chopped in half
- Preheat the oven to 350u0b0 F (180u0b0 C).
- Beat together the eggs and sugar. Add oil and blend until creamy. Add the lemon zest and the dry ingredients (except for the nuts) and combine to form a dough. If it's too sticky to handle, carefully add a little more flour. Add the nuts towards the end. You should have a soft dough.
- With floured hands, divide the dough into 6 portions and roll these into 1 inch-thick logs. Place them on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper with plenty of space between them for spreading.
- Bake 20 minutes. They should appear dry and cooked and are usually cracked along the top but not browned.
- Remove them from the oven, let cool for several minutes. When cool enough to handle, slice with a heavy, sharp knife (not serrated) into 1/2 inch-thick biscotti. Return the biscotti to the oven to dry out ever so slightly, about 5 minutes.
