Mandelbrodt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mandelbrodt, Mandelbrot, or anglicized to Mandelbread, is a dessert associated with Eastern European Jews. Mandelbrodt literally means almond bread, though it can be made with other ingredients as well (when made with walnuts, it is often called k'mish bread). It is a twice-baked cake that is similar to Italian biscotti, and it is usually made into a loaf and sliced like hard bread. Its precise origin is unknown.
