Ingredients

  • 1/3 cups Sliced Almonds
  • 2-1/4 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1/3 cups Sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/2 cups Very Cold Butter
  • 1 cup Diced Dried Fruit (I Used A Medley Of Pear, Apple, Apricot And Raisin)
  • 1 cup Low Fat Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoons Orange Extract (or Almond)
  • 1 whole Egg White (or Substitute Melted Butter)
  • 1/3 cups Powdered Sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and butter or line a baking sheet with parchment or a silpat.
  2. 2
    In a small saute pan, stir almonds over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Set aside and allow to cool.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture has coarse crumbs. Stir in almonds and fruit.
  4. 4
    In a separate bowl, combine ricotta, 1 egg, vanilla and orange extracts. Fold ricotta mixture into flour mixture until just moistened. Move dough to a floured surface and knead for a couple of minutes until it sticks together.
  5. 5
    Divide loaf in half and roll each half into an oval. Fold each oval in half.
  6. 6
    Place the dough on baking sheet and bake 45-50 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to a rack to cool completely.
  7. 7
    Brush the warm loaves with beaten egg white and dust completely with powdered sugar. If a raw egg scares you, you can use melted butter in place of the egg white before dusting
