For this round of Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Julia we've got Hazelnut Biscotti. I wasn't sure if I really wanted to make these.....I actually love hazelnut (which apparently a lot of people don't), but I'm generally not a big biscotti person. I loooooove coffee.....but I mainly drink iced coffee, and since biscotti seems like a hot coffee/tea kind of thing, I don't usually go for them......but I decided to give it a go.....
These are delicious! Even without the coffee they taste fantastic......just the right amount of sweetness, and a fantastic hazelnut flavor that is enhanced by the addition of Frangelico. A very simple recipe to put together.....I think the trickiest part was getting the dough into a somewhat log shape before the first baking.....it's super sticky! After that is was smooth smailing.....oh and the nutty aroma was great while it was baking!
For the recipe, check out this round's hosts......Jodi at Homemade and Wholesome, and Katrina at Baking and Boys. Check out Tuesdays with Dorie for the other baker's results......and Enjoy!
