How to peel hazelnuts
The skin of whole hazelnuts, unlike that of almonds, doesn't improve their taste - on the contrary.

Step by step recipe
Stage 1
Stage 2
Bake for 10 minutes at 180°C (360°F).
Stage 3
After this time, you'll see that the hazelnut skin has darkened and cracked.
Stage 4
Pour the hazelnuts onto a tea towel and leave to cool for a few minutes.
Stage 5
Fold back the tea towel...
Stage 6
...and roll the hazelnuts back and forth between them for 1 or 2 minutes, pressing the cloth tightly.
Stage 7
Open the tea towel and remove the hazelnuts, which are already well peeled.
Stage 8
Fold the cloth over the remaining hazelnuts, and repeat the operation until all your hazelnuts are skinless.
Stage 9
You may have a few "resistant" hazelnuts, which retain a small piece of skin, as in the photo.
There are three possible solutions:
1) Put them back in the oven on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes, and start all over again.
2) Scrape off the remaining skins with a knife.
3) Keep them as they are, as this little bit of remaining skin isn't really a problem, unless your hazelnuts are going to be used for decoration.
