Preparation

  1. Heat to 175 °C. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and zest. Stir in eggs and almonds; form a firm paste.
  2. Share in four and shape four 9 x 5 cm rods, height 2 to 2,5 cm. Cook for 20 to 24 minutes at 175 °C. Tiedir 15 minutes.
  3. Slice each bread into eight 1 cm slices, keeping the ends irregular to accompany. Dry slices on two plates, 7 minutes per face at 150 °C, plate by plate if necessary. Cool for 45 minutes.
  4. Heat the cream, pour over the chopped chocolate, mix and leave to thicken for 45 minutes. Spread 5 to 6 g over sixteen slices, then 2 to 3 g of marmalade on the top edge. Place the remaining sixteen slices and press gently.
  5. Reserve the excess topping. Take 30 minutes to cool, then serve the sandwiches lying down, without stacking.

Baking tips for this recipe

  • Preheat the oven according to the plug and prepare the mold before mixing the last ingredients.
  • Uses the dimensions and cooking mode indicated: a higher or wider mold changes the cooking of the center.
  • Follow the visual cues of step by step in addition to the duration. Respect the intended cooling before unmoulding or decorating.

Substitutions and variations

To vary a zest, choose another citrus fruit washed and intended for this use, keeping the same amount. Does not automatically replace juice, whose acidity can change the preparation.

Keep the type of chocolate provided for the structure or ganache. Switching from dark chocolate to white chocolate changes the balance: the quantities do not transpose directly.
