- For an even more intense flavor, toast the hazelnuts lightly before incorporating them into the dough.
- Ensure you zest only the orange's outer skin, avoiding the white pith underneath which can be bitter.
- When shaping the dough before the first bake, use wet hands to prevent sticking and to form a smooth surface.
- Allow the biscotti logs to cool slightly after the first bake before slicing; this prevents crumbling.
- Use a serrated knife to slice the biscotti for clean, even cuts.
- If you like your biscotti extra crunchy, you can extend the second bake time by a few minutes.
- Store your biscotti in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness for several weeks.
