Introduction

I wanted to try recreating the rich and varied flavours of cannoli in a free-form loaf... and since my mom prefers almonds over pistachios (not to mention they're WAY cheaper!) I used almond milk, ground almonds and almond extract in the dough along with a healthy dose of ricotta cheese, chocolate shot and Amaretto soaked cherries! Let the celebration begin!

Ingredients

    2 tbsp melted butter
    5.5 oz ricotta cheese
    1/3 cup vanilla sugar
    1/4 cup warm water
    1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, warmed
    1 tbsp instant yeast
    2 cups flour
    1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
    1/2 cup ground almonds
    1/2 tsp fine sea salt
    1/3 cup dried cherries, soaked in Amaretto overnight and drained
    1/3 cup chocolate shot (sprinkles)

Directions

In a food processor, combine butter, ricotta, vanilla sugar, water and almond milk. Process until well combined, set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine yeast, flours, almonds and salt.
Add the cheese mixture and mix with the dough hook for 10 minutes.
Add cherries and chocolate shot, knead 2 minutes longer.
Cover bowl and allow to rest 20 minutes.
Knead dough 2 minutes longer, re-cover dough and allow to rest 30 minutes.
Gently deflate the dough and shape into a smooth ball. Place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and mist with non-stick cooking spray.
Cover and allow to rise 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat oven to 400F with the rack on the bottom rung of the oven. Place a pan of hot water on the floor of the oven for at least 15 minutes before baking.
Bake loaf 25 minutes, until browned and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
