Dough rest:
Wrap the dough in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This will help make it easier to roll out and work with. βοΈ
Roll out and form the slices:
Once rested, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to obtain a thickness of about 1 cm. π
Using a knife or a cutter, cut out slices of the shape you prefer, square or rectangular. If you want an extra touch, you can also make small round biscuits. πͺ
Nutella and almond filling:
Spread a little Nutella on half of the slices and sprinkle with flaked almonds on top. Add the second slice on top like a βbunβ and press lightly to seal the edges. π€€
If you like a little extra crunchiness, you can also brush the surface with egg yolk and sprinkle with a little sugar before baking. β¨
Baking:
Place the slices on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180Β°C (350Β°F) for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy. π₯
Once ready, let them cool for a few minutes on the tray, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. π¬οΈ
Serving:
Serve the orange shortcrust pastry slices with chocolate and almonds as a delicious snack, perfect to accompany a tea or a cup of coffee! βπͺ You can also wrap them in beautiful gift paper to give them to your friends and family! π
Tips:
If you want a more intense orange flavor, you can also add a few drops of orange flavoring or grated zest of organic oranges. πβ¨
You can replace the Nutella with a white chocolate cream for a more delicate variant. π«
These slices are also perfect to be packaged in a cute box and given as a gift on special occasions. π
