Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the vegetable oil and granulated sugar until well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. (2 minutes)

04

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Gently fold in the chopped pecans and halved maraschino cherries until evenly distributed throughout the dough. (3 minutes)

07

Step

With lightly greased hands, divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a loaf approximately 10 inches long and 3 inches wide. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Place the loaves onto the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaves are firm to the touch. (30 minutes)

10

Step

Remove from the oven and let the loaves cool slightly on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. (10 minutes)

11

Step

Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each loaf into 3/4-inch thick slices. (5 minutes)

12

Step

Arrange the slices cut-side up on the baking sheet. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). (2 minutes)

13

Step

Return the mandlbrodt to the oven and toast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp. (5 minutes)

14

Step

Transfer the mandlbrodt to a wire rack to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. (10 minutes)

For best results, ensure your eggs are at room temperature to promote better emulsification.
Do not overmix the dough, as this can result in a tougher texture. Mix until just combined.
Feel free to experiment with different nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, according to your preference.
Adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients can enhance the overall flavor.
These mandlbrodt are perfect for dunking in coffee or tea.
