Cherry Mandlbrodt is a Jewish pastry that originated in Eastern Europe. This biscotti, also known as mandelbread, is similar to Italian biscotti, but has a moist texture due to the addition of oil. Cherry Mandlbrodt can be traced back to the introduction of sugar in Europe in the 16th century. The cherries in this recipe add chewiness and a bright sweetness to the biscotti, while the nuts provide a crunchy texture. It makes for a perfect snack or even as a gift for a loved one. Just a heads up – it is addictive!
