Ooooooh…a secret Kim Boyce family recipe – not in the book! I will definitely try this out for Hannukah…score some major points with my Mother-In-law! Thank you!
just came back from visiting my mom…in…where else but florida…& she was asking me to bake mondel bread & send it to her…so i was going to research recipes but…search over…thanks tim!
& thanks for getting december off to a super start &…
happy hanukkah!
i jus love the cover of kim’s book…those little galettes are beautiful!
As if I needed another reason to get Kim Boyce’s book, this is it. I have searched everywhere for a decent mandelbread recipe, like the one the now shuttered jewish bakery by my grandmother’s house used to make (she’s not a baking grandma). Thanks so much and Happy Hanukkah to you too!
I love the simplicity of this recipe – not just with ingredients, but method as well. I’d love to make this and maybe add dates or currants. Would it still be called mondel bread then? :)
It never occurred to me to make mandelbread before, but now that I have, I’m glad. My thanks to you and to Kim Boyce’s mother. Just one tiny quibble: “mandel” means almond, so this is sort of like calling an applesauce cake “banana bread,” but I think I prefer the walnuts here anyway.

Oh I love this and now I want the cookbook. Also, my grandma is called Goose too! I can’t believe there is another Grandma called Goose.

This kind of reminds me of biscotti, but the oil probably makes it more bread like.

I was going to make rugelach tonight or tomorrow and came here to have a gander at your recipe, and now there’s this. Tough choice!

Hi Kartik, it is a lot like biscotti–but a little more tender.

Kimberly, there is an obvious solution: make both. ; )

-You had bread sent to you?! One luck guy I tell ya.
-My mom is trying to figure out her “grandma name,” maybe I’ll recommend Goose.
-Looking forward to more special guests.

My niece’s nickname is goose – no idea why though!!

I’m excited to try this recipe out! A friend of mine gave me Good to the Grain for my birthday and I love baking and learning from it!

Is this best fresh? How should it be stored and for how long? Sounds so great! Thank you Tim and Kim!
