How to Make Paximathakia Portokaliou Greek Orange Sesame Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sugar, orange zest, and orange juice until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sesame seeds.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a log approximately 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  6. Place the log onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  8. Using a serrated knife, slice the log crosswise into 1/2-inch thick biscotti.
  9. Arrange the biscotti, cut side down, back onto the baking sheet.
  10. Bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  11. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
