INSTRUCTIONS
THE TOPPING
Sift the flour, salt and spice into a bowl and rub in the butter. Stir in
the sugar, dried fruit, cherries, almonds and yeast. Make a well in the
centre and add the egg and milk to make a soft dough.
Turn on to a floured surface and knead for 5-6 minutes. Cover with oiled
clingfilm and leave for 20 minutes.
Knock back the dough and lightly knead on a floured surface for 2-3
minutes. Roll out into a flat oval shape 23cm x 18cm (9" x 7"), then roll
out the marzipan to a strip 18cm x 5cm (7" x 2") and place in the centre of
the dough. Fold the sides over the marzipan so that they just overlap, and
seal well.
Place seam-side down on a greased baking tray, cover with oiled clingfilm
and leave to rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hour or until doubled
in size.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C, 350°F, gas mark 4, for 40 minutes or
until it sounds hollow when tapped on the base (cover with foil if it is
browning too quickly).
Brush the warm stollen with melted butter and dust with icing sugar. Cool
on a wire rack, then wrap in foil, freeze or keep in a cool place for up to
4 weeks.
