INGREDIENTS

120 g wholemeal spelt flour
25 g brown sugar (finely ground) + 20 g for coating
90 g butter (room temperature)
1 egg yolk
50 g peeled hazelnuts (soaked overnight in water)

YOU WILL ALSO NEED

Baking paper
Cling film

INSTRUCTIONS

1
First, prepare the dough. In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, sugar, butter, and egg yolk, and mix well until the ingredients form a stiff dough. Then add the hazelnuts and incorporate them into the dough. Shape the prepared dough into 1 large or 2 smaller logs (approximately 3 cm in diameter), wrap in cling film, and let rest for at least 8 hours (preferably overnight).
2
Once the dough has rested, preheat the oven to 170 °C, prepare a baking sheet, and line it with baking paper. Remove the cling film from the log, lightly coat it in brown sugar, and slice into rounds approximately 0.7 cm thick. Arrange the rounds on the baking paper, place the sheet in the oven, and bake until golden brown for 18–22 minutes at 170–175 °C.

Tip

The dough will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, so you can prepare it in advance and bake when needed.
