Almond Flour Mandel Bread

Almond Flour Mandel Bread

Ingredients:

Mandel Bread

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 3 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

• 1 ⅓ cup Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour

• 1 cup Tapioca Starch/Flour

• 2 tsp xanthan gum

• 1 tsp kosher salt

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips

• 1 cup walnuts, chopped

Topping

• 2 tsp granulated sugar

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• ½ tsp kosher salt

Yields 2 loaves, ~16 slices

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large bowl or standing mixer, cream together the sugar and butter until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, and mix until a pale yellow. In a separate bowl, mix together the flours, xanthan gum, and kosher salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet over low speed until thoroughly combined. Mix for several minutes. The batter will be very thick. 

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and walnuts by hand to keep their integrity in shape. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and evenly divide the batter into two loaves. Using wet finger tips, press the mandel bread loaves into your desired shape. 

In a small bowl, combine the extra sugar, cinnamon, and kosher salt, and sprinkle the mixture all over the top. 

Bake at 350F for 35 minutes, and allow the mandel bread to cool completely before slicing. This will make it so much easier. Enjoy, and Happy Passover!
