Pistachio Orange Biscotti – Gluten-free version

👨‍🍳 Method

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven

   💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2. 2
   In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

   💡Slice with a serrated knife, in a sawing motion: a smooth knife presses on the log and crumbles the slices.
