- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet over low speed until thoroughly combined. Mix for several minutes. The batter will be very thick.
- Fold in the pistachios by hand to keep their integrity in shape.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and evenly divide the batter into two loaves. Using wet finger tips, press the mandel bread loaves into your desired shape.
- Sprinkle with the extra sugar, and bake at 350F for 35 minutes.
- Finish with a final fresh zesting of lemon, and allow the mandel bread to cool completely before slicing. This will make it so much easier. Enjoy, and Happy Passover!
