Pistachio and Orange Blossom Biscotti

Hiya,

I have been really sick and bored at home while I have been off from work but yesterday I just got too bored so I got up and made some biscotti.

Recipe:

2 cups    Flour
1 pinch   Salt
2           Eggs
1 tsp       Baking powder
2 Tbsp   Orange blossom water
120g      Whole de-shelled pistachios
3/4 Cup  Sugar
1 Tbsp    Oil
Spray oil (optional)

Steps:

1. Preheat your oven on bake on 160 degrees celsius
2. Add the sugar and eggs in a medium sized bowl and whisk until light and frothy
3. In a small bowl mix the salt, flour and baking powder
4. While whisking the sugar and egg mix slowly add in the oil and orange blossom water
5. Continue adding the flour, but just before it becomes doughy, add in the pistachios and then keep adding the flour until the mixture has a doughy consistency - [add some extra flour if it doesn't form a doughy consistency]
6. Once the biscotti dough is ready, split the dough in half  
7. On a baking tray spray some oil and then take one half of the dough mixture and place it on the tray in the shape of a log (looking very similar to a small baguette)
8. Do the same thing to the other half of the dough on the same tray if there is space or on another baking tray
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes
10. Once ready take them out of the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes
11. Once cooled cut the log evenly across this should give you around 12 biscotti pieces per log
12. Place the biscotti slices back in the oven for an extra 10 minutes with the same temperature and bake.
13. Once done take them out of the oven and let them rest for another 15 minutes. This will make them nice and crispy. 

Enjoy,
Sara
