– 2 tablespoons apricot jam
– 2 tablespoons candied orange peels
– 1 egg yolk
– 1 cup chopped blanched almonds
– 1/4 cup dark chocolate (melted)
WRITTEN RECIPE:
1- First finely chop the candied orange peels
2- In a large bowl, mix together the almond paste, the chopped candied orange peel, and apricot jam – until well incorporated.
3- Coat your hands with vegetable oil and roll some of the almond paste into a log about the thickness of your thumb.
4- Spread a bit of the egg yolk in your palm and roll the almond log so it gets covered with the yolk.
5- Sprinkle the chopped almonds on your working station and roll the almond log on top of the almonds bits so that they stick all around the almond log.
6- Slice the almond log into bite size chunks. Place the chunks in a buttered baking pan.
7- Bake in a preheated oven to 360 F / 180 C for 15 minutes or until the cookies get a beautiful golden color.
8- Once done, drizzle some melted dark chocolate on top of the cookies. Let the cookies cool down completely before serving.
Bon appetite!

Easiest Italian Bread Ever! No Mixer – No Dutch Oven
The easiest bread ever! Comes together (baking and all) in under 2 hours and requires basics you probably already on hand. It’s just so perfect, rustic, crunchy and makes for a phenomenal base for a poolside sangueeechhh this summer! Recipe Below! RECIPE: 3 1/2 cups of All Purpose Flour 2 tsp of Sugar 2 tsp of Instant Yeast 2 Tsp of Salt 1 2/3 cups of Warm Water In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the dough, it will be a tad sticky but as long as all the flour is incorporated you’re golden! Cover and allow to rise for about an hour and a half somewhere warm (I pop it in the oven with the light on DON’T TURN TE OVEN ON though!) About an hour in, take the dough out of your oven (if thats where you’re storing it to rise) leave it on the counterforce the last half an hour and preheat your oven to 475 degrees, you want it well preheated when you go to bake the bread. On a well floured surface (don’t be shy, the dough is slightly sticky) scoop out your dough onto it, flour the top a bit so its not sticky then divide into 2 equal pieces, kind of roll and stretch each half into a 12” log, give each one a few twists and place them on a lightly floured parchment lined baking sheet. Cut a few slits down the whole length of the loaves and pop them in the oven. When you pop them in immediately lower the temp to 450 and bake for 24 minutes (or until deeply browned). Enjoy! They are sensational!
