Claire Saffitz Makes Aunt Rose's Mondel Bread | Dessert Person
Mandel bread is a kind of almond cookie that Claire Saffitz describes as a Jewish Biscotti although it's only baked once. Claire recently learned that before emigrating to the United States, her great grandfather worked as a baker. This explains the handful of recipes passed down on her mother's side. One of her favorite recipes passed down is this Mandel bread recipe named "Aunt Rose's Mondel Bread." Follow along as Claire Saffitz shows you this family recipe and tries to track down the origin of this specific cookie.
