The rich dough of this loaf is laced with fresh orange zest, and stuffed with two fragrant fillings before being shaped and baked. One of these is composed of apricots, orange juice, and zest, and is flavoured with the warm notes of cardamom. The other is a homemade orange-scented almond paste.

This meal would make a nice, light brunch for Mother’s Day. Frittata is so simple to make, and you can use many different vegetables. See my suggestions for a complete brunch ♥

“…perfect for dunking, they would soak up a little coffee softening just enough to achieve a perfect texture & for the flavours to mingle on and tantalize my taste buds…” this was my pleasure upon discovering biscotti when I first visited Italy. Fabulous & so simple to make, even for a novice cook!
