Steps for Savory Cantucci with Olives, Capers, and Almonds

  • To make these wonderful savory cantucci with olives, capers, and almonds, first prepare the dough. You can knead it in a stand mixer, food processor, or simply by hand. For convenience, I used a stand mixer. In the bowl of the stand mixer, add the all-purpose flour, cold butter cut into pieces, salt, black pepper, grated Parmesan cheese, and instant yeast for savory cakes. Mix everything at speed 2 for a few minutes using the paddle attachment (K). Then add the egg, sliced pitted green olives, capers previously chopped with a knife, and toasted almonds, and mix for another few minutes until you get a homogeneous dough.

  • Pour the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and form 2 long loaves about 2 inches in diameter. Place the loaves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes, then cut them into chunks using a serrated knife. Place all the chunks back on the baking tray and toast them in the oven for another 5 minutes.

  • Turn off the oven, remove them, and let them cool completely. Transfer the savory cantucci with olives, capers, and almonds to a serving plate and serve. I hope you like my latest recipe, see you next time, friends.

STORAGE, TIPS, AND NOTES

The savory cantucci with olives, capers, and almonds can be stored in airtight or tin containers for 3-4 days. You can enrich the dough with other savory ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, onions, or deli meats, or other nuts. They go well with sauces like mayonnaise or yogurt sauce, but I assure you they are also great on their own.
