  • 0.5 cup chocolate chips 
  • 0.5 cup apricot dried
  • 0.5 cup cranberries dried
  •  egg whites lightly beaten
  •  eggs 
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • teaspoon espresso powder instant
  • teaspoons orange zest grated
  • 3.3 cups pastry flour 
  • 0.5 cup slivered almonds 
  • 0.3 cup butter unsalted
  • teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • 0.8 cup granulated sugar white

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • baking paper
  • oven
  • serrated knife

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together butter and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  3. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
  4. Mix dry ingredients into the egg mixture. Stir in the espresso powder, orange zest, chocolate chips, dried apricots, dried cranberries and almonds.
  5. Shape dough into two equal logs approximately 12 inches long by 2 inches diameter.
  6. Place logs on baking sheet, and flatten out to about 1 inch thickness.
  7. Brush the log with egg wash.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden and the center is firm, about 35 to 40 minutes.
  9. Remove from oven to cool on the pans. When loaves are cool enough to handle, use a serrated knife to slice the loaves diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices. Return the slices to the baking sheet.
  10. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  11. Bake until they start turning light brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool completely, and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
