INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE STOLLEN MIXTURE
To prepare the yeast mixture: Put the milk in a round-bottomed bowl, add
yeast and 200 g flour. Mix well. Keep aside for 30 minutes or until it
turns frothy. Put all the stollen mixture ingredients in a ceramic bowl.
Add rum and mix well. Cover with a muslin cloth and reserve at least
overnight. (Ideally, the mixture should be reserved for a week.)
To prepare the dough: Add butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla essence to the
frothy mixture and mix well. Add the remaining flour and knead to a soft
dough. Add the stollen mixture and mix until fully incorporated. Put the
dough in a greased bowl, cover with a moist muslin cloth and keep in a warm
place to prove for 20 minutes. Divide into three equal portions, press each
portion gently with the palm into an oval shaped disc approximately 2.5 cm.
thick. Then fold breadthwise, leaving about 2.5 cm. from the peripherry.
Arrange the loaves on a greased baking tray. Bake in a pre-heated oven at
275 F. for 35 minutes or till done. When cool, soak each loaf in equal
quantity of desi ghee (clarified butter) until fully absorbed. Remove and
dust with equal quantity of icing sugar.
