Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180 °C in convection mode. Place the flour, sugar, salt, butter, vanilla paste, leavening agent, eggs and flavoring in the bowl of a food processor and knead the dough.
Step 2
Stir the chopped and whole almonds and milk into the dough. The dough should be slightly sticky. If it is too dry, add a few more tablespoons of milk.
Step 3
Divide the dough into three parts and on a floured surface, form three baguettes 25-30 cm long (Ø 4 cm). Cover a baking tray with baking paper and place the cantuccini on it.
Step 4
Bake in the oven (middle level) for 10-12 minutes, until the surface has hardened and browned. Cool for 5 minutes and cut the baguettes slightly askew into 1.5 cm thick slices. Place the slices cut-side up on the baking tray and bake for a further 10 minutes until golden brown.
