MARY GOLDBERG'S PASSOVER MANDEL BREAD

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together oil and 3/4 cup sugar. Beat in the eggs until well mixed.
• Whisk in lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon and salt.
• Use a large spoon to stir in the matzo cake meal, matzo meal, and potato starch until a wet, sticky dough forms (the consistency should be half dough, half batter).
• Stir in the slivered almonds and chopped nuts.
• Cover the batter with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 48 hours.
• When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
• Lightly grease your hands with avocado oil or coconut oil. Use the dough to form 2 long, thick rows or rectangles on the baking sheet. Each row should be between 3 ½ - 4 inches wide. Make sure you leave at least 2 inches between the rows, as they will expand during baking.
• Bake mandelbrot for 30 minutes. Take mandelbrot out of the oven.
• Place the rows on a cutting board and let them cool for 10 minutes. Handle the rows carefully, they are delicate and prone to crumbling. Slice the rows into ½ inch wide biscotti-sized slices.
• Pour 1/4 cup of sugar into a shallow dish. Roll each cookie in sugar. Again, handle the slices somewhat carefully to make sure they don't crumble.
• Put the slices cut-side down back onto the cookie sheet, then bake for another 10-20 minutes, until firm with crisp edges. The longer they stay in the oven, the crisper they will become. Keep an eye on the texture and don't over-bake, or the mandel bread will get overly dry.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a rack.Store in an airtight container. Mandel bread will last several days because most of the moisture is baked out of it. For a longer shelf life, wrap each individual cookie in foil, place in a sealed plastic bag, and freeze for up to three weeks.
• These are especially delicious when dunked in coffee or tea. Yum!
