INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

LATER
1. Make a normal yeast-dough (I hope that is the correct word)
2. put the dough on a board and knead it with your fingers. But take care,
that the lower side always stays down and gets no rents (gets not cracked?)
3. add the almonds and go on kneading
4. add the candied lemon peel and the sultanas at last an go on kneading
until the dough is smooth.
5. form an oval loaf and let him grow on a warm place 30 or 40 minutes
6. press it down a bit in the middle (with a rollig pin, so that you have a
tray?, hollow? over the full length) and fold one third over the other two
thirds (like a sheat of paper), so you get a long, slim loaf.
7. put a bit of flour over the baking tin (spray it), just like a bit of
dust, and let the loaf relax on the baking tin about 15 minutes
8. heat the oven for 480 degrees (250 C) and insert the tin in the lower
part. Give the Stollen 45-55 minutes with 360 - 390 degrees (180-200 C),
than switch of the oven and let it rest for another 10 minutes in the oven.
ATTENTION: After 5 minutes of baking you have to open the door a bit (press
a spoon between) or - if you have - open the departure (???), so that
dampness can escape.
9. Spread it with the butter and strew the confectioners sugar over it.
Good appetite. Well I warned you, my english is not best. Please tell me,
have you got it, have you any questions, sounds something mad. I guess the
first recipes are the hardest.
When I buy Stollen, I prefere a Stollen that is filled with marzipane. But
I never made one myself.

A Message from our Provider:

“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
