3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon active dry yeast for bread

Glaze for Orange Cake
1 cup powdered sugar
4 tablespoons orange juice
1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
Mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, yeast, and ginger in a bowl
In a saucepan, combine orange juice, almond flour, heavy cream, and salt
Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until warm
Add the warm mixture to the flour mixture and beat at medium speed until smooth
Beat in the eggs and mix well
Add an additional 1 cup all-purpose flour and beat at medium speed for another minute
Fold in the chopped orange and hazelnuts
Add enough of the remaining flour to form a thick dough
Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a protected place until it becomes light and forms bubbles (about 1 hour)
Punch down, divide into 18 small molds coated with butter, and let rest for 30 minutes or until doubled in volume
Bake at moderate temperature (170°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown
Let cool
Remove from molds, let cool completely, and glaze.
