Mandel Bread is actually not bread as we think
of it today. A closer
relative to the cookie,
mandel bread is a dessert treat who's history
stems all the way back to
ancient eastern European cultures.
Mandel Bread is derived from "mandel (almond) brodt
(bread)".
Historians confirm that almonds were known to
ancient middle eastern
cooks, and were incorporated into many recipes. Biscotti and twice-
baked hard breads were popular in Ancient
Rome and spread to other
parts of the continent. The term mandelbrot is traditionally
associated
with
Eastern European Jews.
Meisner's Mandel Bread is perfect for the dessert table at your next
special event, a
thoughtful gift or simply as a snack with your favorite
cup of coffee. |
