Tips:
- Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor and aroma for these biscotti. If you don't have fresh oranges on hand, you can use 1/2 cup of orange juice concentrate mixed with 1/4 cup of water.
- Toast the poppy seeds: Toasting the poppy seeds before adding them to the dough enhances their flavor. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly.
- Chill the dough before slicing: Chilling the dough before slicing makes it easier to cut and prevents the biscotti from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the biscotti twice: Baking the biscotti twice gives them a crispy texture. After the first bake, cut the biscotti into slices and then bake them again until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Store the biscotti in an airtight container: Biscotti can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Orange poppy seed biscotti are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, flavorful, and have a wonderful citrus flavor.
