Passover Chocolate Chip Mandel Bread Recipe

Name: Passover Chocolate Chip Mandel Bread
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups Sugar; 2 sticks Unsalted Butter, At Room Temperature; 6 whole Eggs; 2-3/4 cups Matzo Cake Meal (See Note); 1 teaspoon Salt; 3/4 cups Potato Starch; 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips; 1 cup Sliced Almonds, Or Your Favorite Nuts; FOR THE TOPPING:; 1 teaspoon Cinnamon; 2 teaspoons Sugar

Servings: persons

1
Note: Matzo cake meal is typically available in the ethnic or Passover food aisle of well-stocked supermarkets.
2
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
3
Using either a stand or hand mixer, cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
4
In a separate bowl, sift together cake meal, salt and potato starch. Fold into egg mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
5
Divide dough in half and form 2 loaves, approximately 2 to 3 inches high on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Loaves will neither rise nor spread in oven but I did find them very sticky to work with, so I used a bit of extra cake meal on my hands to pat them into shape.
6
For the topping, combine cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over loaves. Bake for 45 minutes. Allow to cool slightly but slice, with a serrated knife, while still warm.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
