Apricot Orange and Pistachio Biscotti
Ingredients
1 egg
50g caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange rind
130g plain flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
40g pistachio kernels
6 dried apricots, finely chopped (I used 5 pieces)
Icing sugar mixture, for dusting
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer, beat egg, sugar and orange rind until thick and pale. Sift over flour and baking powder. Add pistachios and apricots. Stir to combine.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly until smooth. Shape into a 20cm long log. Place on prepared tray. Flatten slightly.
Step 3
Bake for 30 minutes or until golden. Cool on tray for 15 minutes. Reduce oven to 140°C/120°C fan-forced. Using a serrated knife, slice log diagonally into 5mm-thick slices. Discard ends (actually you don't have to, just eat them ! ~○~)
Step 4
Place slices, in a single layer, on baking tray. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, or until dry and crisp. Stand on tray for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Can be stored in an airtight container for a week.
Serve lightly dusted with icing sugar if you like.
The sweet aroma of apricot and tangy orange fragrance .... with nutty fruity flavour. Enjoy the dunking again ... in a cup of cappuccino ♡!

Yayyy......another great flavour as I love pistachio. I think baking biscotti doesnt sound hardwoek at all.....as long as not slicing into very thin slices. Your work mates must love you alot for baking lots of food goodies to bring to them.
