Cantucci with dark chocolate, makes about 40 pieces

Mix the dry ingredients. Add the chocolate, grated orange zest, butter, and eggs, and work with your hands until you have a smooth, even dough. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and shape into 25cm logs. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake at 180°C (fan oven) for 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and then cut into diagonal 1cm slices. Place these slices back on the tray, cut-side up, and bake for another 15-20 minutes at 160°C (fan oven). Allow to cool and then transfer to a metal tin. Will keep for 4 weeks if not eaten beforehand.
